   No, but if they aren’t SPELLED out in the Constitution, they are reserved to the States or to the people. NOT the Feds.

   Repubs are putting on a clown show today. Trump the loser strikes again. His guy is going down.
   WASHINGTON — Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) failed again Wednesday to win the House speaker’s gavel after coming up short of a majority in the fourth, fifth and sixth votes of this week…..
   “In a statement on his website Wednesday, former President Donald Trump reiterated his support for McCarthy. The Freedom Caucus is home to Trump’s biggest backers in Congress, but McCarthy’s candidacy has split the group. And Trump’s endorsement apparently didn’t help.”

   Except isn’t the same thing over and over. It took 9 ballots once in the 1920’s, and ~130 in 1855. This is what can happen when there’s a narrow majority and a new Speaker to be picked, as opposed to reelecting a former Speaker.
   Patience, Grasshoppers. There will be different results, but your carping is to be expected… it’s what you do.

    It is not a clown show; it is democracy. Only Democrats and establishment Republicans obey lock step with their ideological leaders and the lobbyists. These Republicans are individualists with their own opinions. I say go have the fight which has been brewing for 12 years. Also, Trump is clearly not the leader of MAGA; he just rides the wave of the individualists.

    What would Alexander Hamilton make of the chaos among Republicans in the House right now? Maybe this passage of Hamilton from Federalist 15 provides a clue:
    “A spirit of faction, which is apt to mingle its poison in the deliberations of all bodies of men, will often hurry the persons, of whom they are composed, into improprieties and excesses, for which they would blush in a private capacity.”

    Puts a spring into his step. He felt a big under the weather after the New Years late night reveilles. I am just waiting for it to hit him like a bomb…like when you thought you would break ribs coughing. When cooking on the stove seems like a whole lot of work. Of course, I would never take pleasure in another’s misery. There is a word for that. A long German sounding word.
    Anyway, “The humiliation of Kevin McCarthy as he stands for Speaker of the House represents the humiliation of the Republican Party. It is humiliation wrought by a fringe that is greatly enjoying its attention. If you have any doubt of the humiliation, consider the ecstatic mainstream media coverage of the show. They love it. What accounts for their joy? I think I have a pretty good fix on it.
    If that doesn’t give you a clue, take in the look on the face of Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Why is this man smiling? This is Hakeem’s dream. He may not even have to wait until 2024 to make his next move up the ladder.”

    The German affiliate of MAGA is alive and well.
    “Police have arrested 25 people accused of planning to overthrow the German government in a series of raids across the country.
    The group is accused of trying to instate Heinrich XIII – a descendant of German royalty – as their leader. Among those arrested were members of the Reichsbürger (which translates as citizens of the Reich), a disparate movement of groups and individuals, including some with extreme-right views.
    Reichsbürger adherents have been stopped from attempting violent action before, but this latest incident and its alleged members have caused greater concern.
    A former member of the German parliament, who was also a judge until shortly after her arrest, was among the group. Birgit Malsack-Winkemann was a parliamentary deputy for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), but left the party in 2021.
    Several former soldiers were also arrested in connection with the coup plot. This is a cause for great concern for law enforcement, as such ties give possibly dangerous extremists access to weapons and trained individuals.”

    The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.
    The report, which the Department of Energy (DOE) completed in late December without any public announcement, says the Keystone XL project would have created up to 59,000 jobs and would have had a positive economic impact of up to $9.6 billion.
    Immediately after taking office in January 2021, Biden canceled the pipeline’s permits, effectively shutting the project down.
