a funny thing Biden could do, unitary-executive-authority-wise is just order GSA to stop cutting paychecks to a bunch of Republican judges and law clerks for a while.

it would be better if he ordered the IRS to give all taxpayors a cashola from Grandpa Joe. Make the fuckers try to claw it back from us.

It seems like effectively ending the Impoundment Control Act is probably something the Court actually intended; it caused problems for Nixon and Trump, so away it goes. Seems like the War Powers Act is probably dead too.

it might even be funnier if instead of forgetting to pay them entirely he just moved the decimal place over several digits. "mr. roberts, sir, we know you were expecting your monthly paycheck of $22,000 but it seems there has been an irrecoverable error and your paycheck has been made out for 22¢"

Just quietly do it and make it seem like its a big mixup or something that somehow is only affecting Federalist Society members. If Congress complains just claim executive privilege and then pardon the GSA administrator as many times as you need to.

Even better write NYT Op/Ed announcing it, and make it exclusively for the SCOTUS-six. Remove all humor and have it be blunt.

GSA does not pay judges. Guessing that would be the www.uscourts.gov/topics/admin...

Oh no, you see, that's a "separation of powers" issue. Those override the actual text of the Constitution.

They clearly don't need their paychecks, so there's not much leverage there. Furlough their security teams.

Another funny thing he could do, and it would be entirely legal according to the SCOTUS, is have every member of the Federalist Society assassinated. Of course that wouldn't really be "funny" so much as "hysterical".

If centrists were content to usher us into a fascist dictatorship, fine, they have their goals, it's what they do. But to do so while SCOLDING us and BLAMING us—that's what's especially infuriating at this precipice, and it's unforgivable.
