Column: Trump is ignorant. What's Elizabeth Warren's excuse for her unconstitutional proposals? (via latimesopinion)
, the pattern is the same. She’ll push regulatory authority beyond the statutory limit. She’ll push statutory authority beyond the constitutional limit. In so doing, she’d represent the next stage in imperial presidential evolution — reaching beyond both President Obama and President Trump, two men who have had their own problems staying within their constitutional boundaries.”
But forget about the legal and constitutional niceties and just focus on the politically possible. Like President Trump, most of the Democratic contenders say they want to get rid of the legislative filibuster, making Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a more responsible steward of the constitutional order. And nearly all of the radical proposals they support — from gun control, to “Medicare for All,” to the Green New Deal — are politically impossible without doing so .
To his credit, Sanders doesn’t want get rid of the filibuster, he just claims he could socialize medicine through the budget reconciliation process. He can’t. Then there’s math. Nearly all of the grandiose plans to socialize medicine and fight climate change would require massive tax hikes. But Warren, who won’t say she’ll raise taxes on the middle class, insists that the rich can pay for it all. They can’t. You could literally confiscate all of the wealth of the top 1% and it wouldn’t cover the Green New Deal aloneA majority of Americans are concerned about climate change.
