How is it permanent? Trump's probably just going to completely undo it and no one will say a damn word.
This is more permanent than it could be...instead of being able to be undone via executive order, it would take an incredibly rare and twisted court ruling or an act of Congress. Neither is that unlikely, however repealing it won't be unilateral, and that means it'll take time and political capital.
you mean like how roe was trashed? or literally any other example of courts and congress doing exactly what trump wants?
Are people just figuring out that law is complicated? You’re right, it can be undone through corrupt actions but that doesn’t mean that the Biden administration hasn’t taken the steps they could to make it permanent.
i think it's been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that the law doesn't apply to trump
Cool.
