Nancy Pelosi calls for postponement of the State of the Union Address until shutdown ends, or to cancel it and deliver it in writing
- Thread starter mescalineeyes

She's a stickler for "decorum"
That's all it literally is. But it is a tell
I know. My point is that the concept of Trump even reading the script of a state of the union address is laughable.
Guess he wanted to postpone it or write it up and now she uses this to make it seem little bitch boy does what she tells him to do if he does that. Now he has to hold it on tv.
Well played, Nancy. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
Really good points.
I think 45 already gave his SOTU, on January 8th. It's not like anything has changed.

Man, you know this cuts deep for him.
He wants to be there, blame Democrats for a problem he created since this shutdown started under full Republican control, and have all the spotlight on him, with a huge chamber applauding everything he says. This is probably making him angrier than not getting a wall yet.

I feel like this will get turned into "censorship reeeee" by the right. But the fact is that giving Trump the floor to whine about the obstructionist Dems while McConnell blocks budget bills is just ridiculous to allow.
Probably nothing. The constitution doesn't specify how often the President has to deliver a SOTU; it only states that he shall give one "from time to time".
I have to imagine the House has the power to request one though, even if SCOTUS needs to get involved. Even Originalists will have to acknowledge that one of the executive's jobs is to keep the legislature informed.
I think it's in Democrats' interest that he not give one. If he doesn't want to, I don't know that they would even want to try to compel it.
Trumpy seems oddly quiet about this. Interns must be fighting valiantly to keep the phone away from him.
Most of them deep down were ok with Pelosi, they just didn't want the blowback of supporting her.
Seriously, if you got Republican Senators- they're the ones who need to be pressured.
The art of the deal is when you give up something you want in order to get rid of something you don't like. The endless whining afterwards is optional.
Trump hasn't tweeted in half a day, tomorrow morning gonna be lit.
This is what how Congress is supposed to work. The House and Senate leaders are head to head with the president, not his subordinates, not his enemies. They are supposed to make sure things run smoothly.
