What would be “a real mess” per @AEI’s @kevinrkosar? A crisis of “illegitimacy” per @NewAmerica’s @leedrutman? And a “dangerously open field with very little guidance” per our own @btremitiere? 🔺 a contingent election 🔺 @ebaueri explains why:

“What if the Senate pro tem decides that she wants to be the president, and therefore tries to gum up the works? … It gets to be a real mess.” deseret.com/magazine/2024/…
Am listening to a conversation of former senators and House members. One thing many lament is how little today's legislators know one another, which makes it hard for them to trust one another and work together.
Always enjoy the annual @librarycongress professional association art show. Some of our civil servants are very talented artists! Floor 6 of the Madison Building.
Just added to UnderstandingCongress.org: @RepGallagher's diagnosis of what ills the House of Representatives. understandingcongress.org/2024/04/24/how…
I have always wondered who funded the site. "Gateway Pundit to file for bankruptcy amid election conspiracy lawsuits" washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…
Delicious piece by @PhilipWallach. "Sybaritic husks," "vanguard of the proletariat," and "kittenishly"---all deployed in his evisceration of Anton's and Deneen's dreams of a post-liberal elite. nationalreview.com/magazine/2024/…
Responsible stewardship. "To work and take pride in generating their own wealth and their community’s prosperity.... they will have the courage and confidence to mutually pledge to each other their Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor." lawliberty.org/forum/american… @AndrewBeckUSA
Parting wisdom from @RepGallagher: "After a grueling day of a thousand meetings, still make the effort to get that beer with a member you don't know that well." "Drink more. Tweet less. Get to know your colleagues in real life before trashing them on social media." -@MikeforWI
Great to be on the @ISI Conservative Conversations podcast with Marlo Slayback & Tom Sarrouf. We discussed Edward C. Banfield, Government Project, & Banfield's place in American conservative thought. Watch or listen in at youtube.com/watch?v=ZIMOzn…
4. "even if today's lawmakers do not appear to be ready, willing, or able. It's the job of conservatives outside the Court to ensure that Congress can do so." understandingcongress.org/2024/04/23/the… #Chevron @thomaskoenig98
3. "Imposing responsibilities on those who are incapable of living up to them looks silly at best, immoral at worst. Of course, the Court must adhere to and apply the Constitution, and that entails requiring Congress to fulfill its responsibilities under Article I —
2. This legal development poses something of a political dilemma for conservatives who have become inured to Congress's current state of ineptitude. It's a dilemma for the same reason that we shouldn't require four-year-olds to drive themselves to school:
1. ICYMI: "The Court is becoming less solicitous of the administrative state's claims to immense authority, instead requiring Congress to speak clearly if it means to give federal agencies many of the awesome powers they purport to possess.
Turns out you can’t trust the word of a former KGB officer. Who could have guessed?

@ringwiss @kevinrkosar Another one of your classic catches, young Homer. My steal-the-election scenario: Biden wins, Repubs keep the House, Repub speaker refuses to convene the joint session, Jan 19 Trump is elected speaker, yada-yada yada. 1/
@ringwiss @kevinrkosar If the joint session has met and failed, in the Senate that would still leave open the possibility that 34 senators could hide well enough to deny a quorum. 2/2
@KDbyProxy @ringwiss @kevinrkosar This would culminate in a SCOTUS fight between Blinken and Trump over who was POTUS, after Blinken files suit that the succession act can't constitutionally include the legislative branch actors. That'll be a fun oral argument.

Stunning admission from McConnell politico.com/newsletters/in…
@kevinrkosar @RepGallagher It’s a little dated but this symposium might be useful cambridge.org/core/journals/…
@kevinrkosar Under the Twelfth Amendment, 'a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice'. You can nuke the threshold for cloture, but the threshold for election would be 51 senators, not just a simple majority.
@karl_jacoby Ah yes cuz large groups of people, especially emotional ones, follow the posted rules....
Free idea: no floor business (or even committee business) and no district work during the first January of a Congress. Have Members meet exclusively in small subcommittees for the entire month, totally closed from the press. Let them get to know each other as step one.
Am listening to a conversation of former senators and House members. One thing many lament is how little today's legislators know one another, which makes it hard for them to trust one another and work together.
@ProcessParty It tends to be the opposite -- for the first couple/few weeks the only business is floor business because the committees aren't organized yet. Getting subcommittee assignments by early Jan would be great but tough to do
@ProcessParty There are @ModernizeCmte recs for that!
@kevinrkosar @RepGallagher This would be a beginning …
Also good advice for being a normal, well-adjusted human.
Parting wisdom from @RepGallagher: "After a grueling day of a thousand meetings, still make the effort to get that beer with a member you don't know that well." "Drink more. Tweet less. Get to know your colleagues in real life before trashing them on social media." -@MikeforWI
@kevinrkosar @greggnunziata @RepGallagher @MikeforWI We used to strive to send our best and brightest to DC. Sadly, brainless belligerence and bellicosity are now valued in the landscape distorted by social media. Sound bites over sound legislation.
Fascinating view of how Congress functions (or doesn't) and recommendations.
Just added to UnderstandingCongress.org: @RepGallagher's diagnosis of what ills the House of Representatives. understandingcongress.org/2024/04/24/how…
Hayek destroyed Keynes's economics in *Treatise on Money* in his review of that book of August 1931 and February, 1932. Within seven months Keynes had thrown away his old theory and had started over.
The launch of the Keynesian Revolution can be dated to October, 1932. That is when Keynes returned to Cambridge to deliver, not his old lectures on “The Pure Theory of Money,” but a new set of lectures on “The Monetary Theory of Production”. jwmason.org/slackwire/keyn…
@kevinrkosar @RepGallagher @MikeforWI Tweet more. Drink less.
