want another blast from the past Can you provide a non-biased source of this? I am pretty sure this was also twisted before in regards to the GOP killing chip. Edit: Nevermind. Already found it. "A big chunk of the White House package -- $7 billion -- will go toward unspent funds in the Children's Health Insurance Program, a move that Democrats are seizing upon and will likely use as an attack against Republicans in the midterm elections. Republicans, however, argue the money was leftover spending and would have been shifted over to fund other aspects of government if it wasn't rescinded. The CBO projected the rescission would not affect payments to states for the program over the next decade, nor would the number of individuals with insurance be affected." It is literally the exact same thing that was tried to be twisted before just a few months ago. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/07/politics/congress-house-rescissions-package/index.html --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik ...

Why is none of this breaking through the clutter Serious answer? Because the media is obsessed with covering what Trump does/says 24/7 and he's focusing on conspiracy theories or kneeling or other grievance stuff. Granted, it's not wrong that the press has to give some attention to what he says given he's the President, but I mean... they're just ignoring everything else. Hell, IIRC, there was an article noting that the NYT (I think) has stopped quoting Congressional Dems in a bunch of stories and that the Sunday shows are primarily getting pundits to represent the Democratic side over elected officials, if even that. unfortunately (and ironically?) i don't recall the article in question --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

we're all about twitter here though
I wasn't unaware of the source, but considering it's the official account from the House Appropriations Committee's Democrats (y'know... Congress) I don't find it a meaningful distinction from quoting from a member of Congress. Plus, y'know, the image of the actual vote taken in the House. If it was some non-government affiliated Democratic group, yeah, I would have passed on posting that. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

we're all about twitter here though The problem is that the rescissions bill does NOT defund CHIP based on the source I just gave you. It is just taking away the excess money in the CHIP account that is not being used and it has no bearing on its funding or the program. That is why it is not big news. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik ... Copied to Clipboard!

I doubt it gets struck down. There was never a question that it was constitutional without the mandate. So now there's no mandate. Still constitutional. Maybe it'll make the markets implode but that's not the Court's job to decide the wisdom of statutes passed by Congress.

To give some examples, if a public school required teachers to tell their classes that Christianity is the one true faith, that would be obviously unconstitutional. Same if they were required to tell students that Christianity is wrong. If they had to tell their class to support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, that's again obviously unconstitutional.
If they banned teachers from using the name "Crooked Hillary" and required them to use "Hillary Clinton"? There are of course educational reasons teachers should not be using the classroom as a venue to campaign.

If the child wanted to sue him, sure. But if he's suing the school for compelled speech, they're going to look at it under the framework of law for free speech cases. Which he may/probably will still lose under, and I wouldn't call it obvious. Remember, the Supreme Court literally struck down a law against child labor once. Because it regulated manufacturing, rather than "commerce."
