Alleine auf der Ebene des Koalitionsvertrages zeigt sich in massiver Form punktuelle #Menschenfeindlichkeit denn die Gründe für die multiplen #Krisen & #Krisenverschraenkungen sind struktureller Art und haben mit der #Legislative aus den Jahren 1999 - 2025 zu tun.
Beispiel: Die strukturelle #Wohnungsnot und der #Fachkräftemangel Mit der #Agenda2010 und der Partiellen #Entrechtung von #Menschen in #Langzeiterwerbslosigkeit konnte nicht mehr frei ueber #Bildung entschieden werden = #Willkür

#Democrats Had a Shot at Protecting #Journalists From Trump.
#Senate Democrats had #legislative path to shield journalists and sources from #surveillance and #subpoenas. They didn’t act.
Long before reelection on promises to punish disfavored #reporters and outlets, #freepress advocates warned that rescinded #DOJ rules were an inadequate shield. Last year, Senate Democrats had a clear opportunity to make basic protections for journalists a matter of binding federal law.

The Intercept · Democrats Had a Shot at Protecting Journalists From Trump. They Blew It.By Shawn Musgrave

The #Constitution set up a #SeparationOfPowers among the federal government's #coequal #executive, #legislative & #judicial branches.

Proponents of a *conservative* legal doctrine called the "#UnitaryExecutive" theory that envisions vast executive authority for a president portray Humphrey's as wrongly decided. They argue that #ArticleII gives a president sole authority over the executive branch, including the power to fire heads of #independent agencies despite protections under #law.

…The fate of the statutory protections in question rests on how #SCOTUS treats Humphrey's Executor & related rulings. In the 1935 ruling, the court upheld for-cause removal protections for FTC members, faulting Roosevelt's firing for policy differences.

In that decision, SCOTUS said restricting a president's removal was lawful because that agency performed tasks more closely resembling #legislative & #judicial functions, rather than those belonging squarely to the #ExecutiveBranch.

…A longtime force on the #Judiciary Cmte, Mr. #Durbin became its chair in 2021, resisting calls from progressives that he make room for a younger member given his leadership role & other #legislative responsibilities.

He subsequently oversaw the confirmation of 235 federal #judges during the Biden admin—including one #SCOTUS justice—surpassing by one the number of judges confirmed by #Republicans during an aggressive push in #Trump’s first term.
