During their protest of Russell Vought’s confirmation, Senate Democrats sounded the alarm about Vought’s role in drafting Project 2025 and his support for vastly expanding the power of the president.
Vought, said Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin at 10:30 pm eastern time on Wednesday, “has openly called for the president to defy congress and take control of federal funding decisions that are constitutionally vested in the legislative branch.”
Schiff accused the Trump administration of unlawfully attempting to break down the separation of powers and said Vought would play a role in aiding that effort.
“This is an effort to try to consolidate power, all the power of this government, in the hands of Donald Trump and a few of his hand-picked very wealthy, billionaire friends,” said California Democrat Adam Schiff.
They’re referring to how you joined the conversation with “what choice do we have?” (a defeatist attitude) and proceeded to complain that we’re here because of leftists staying home on election day leading to defeat.
Their point was that, maybe we’re defeated not because people didn’t come out on a single day to vote, but because they said “what choice do we have?” on all the other days.
