See, I keep seeing talk about this, but what does it mean?
Is this "The Biden administration is going to suspend elements of the US constitution for an ill-defined duration" or is it just PR talk, the Biden administration attempting to bully individual states into surrendering their constitutional rights to Federal government using the power of rhetoric alone?
We are already deep into suspending the constitution for indefinite durations. There are still over 30 on-going official states of emergency going back to 1979, although one could make a case that emergencies from WW1 or even the war amongst the states never ended.
Sovereign is he who decides the state of exception.
Oh, so this is unilateral action by the office of the president.
Does he actually get to do that, or is this one of those things where he gets to do it until somebody asks if he can, at which point there's a court case, and the Biden administration gets put back in it's box?

Close. He does it. It sits in courts for a couple weeks. Then a conservative justice strikes it down. Then he appeals, and gets a stay on the conservative court's ruling so it stays in effect until the appeal. It gets approved on the appeal, so gets appealed again to the supreme court. Which means we wait until next summer until the supreme court decides on it, but by that point the EO will have been in effect for a year so it doesn't matter what the supreme court says everyone will be used to the rules so they'll just kind of stay.
Eh, I think the red states are already done with Biden. None of his federal bullshit will be enforced in Florida or Texas.
This is the state of our nation: the president will dictate law to the states that voted for him while the rest of the country ignores him.
The congress will be deadlocked on partisan legislation but will pass foreign aid grift and their own pay raises immediately. They will spend most of their time investigating and prosecuting whichever party is not in power.
When the presidency changes hands, the delinquent states and the obedient states will switch. Over the course of several administrations, red and blue states will move far, far apart in terms of law and culture.
At some point, everything will snap. The scotus is most likely to provide the inflection point as they lean conservative and their decisions become ever more untenable for blue states. I think some unhinged leftist will kill a scotus justice.
Civil war seems inevitable when you look at the map and realize all of the red states are contiguous while all of the blue states are not. Then factor in that all of the red counties will secede and suddenly all of the blue “states” are just tiny island nations in a sea of red. That is not a sustainable split.

No, it’s real, they’re going to Covid us into eating bugs

No, if it was something the permanent state didn't want to do. This is just "legitimizing" what the permanent state wanted to do anyway.
