This is exactly how GOP is going to play these games. They've given the insight to us now.
"Oh, you want us to pass bills that help the country? Well...only if democratic politicians got less power! waaah!"
Fucking parasites.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They also already did it in Wisconsin in 2018: https://www.axios.com/2018/12/05/wisconsin-republicans-strip-governor-tony-evers-powers
This is also a favored tactic when it's time to hold the budget hostage with threats of a government shutdown a few times every other year too.
God fucking damnit man. Our local shit going to the democrats has been like my only solace
This is not the time to be giving up election oversight powers of any sort. Veto the fuck out of this bullshit no more weak pushover shit, let the citizens know when Republicans are holding their aid hostage to destroy democratic safeguards
At the moment, vetos don't matter so much in NC thanks to Tricia Cotham. The makeup of the NC legislature is still being settled, so it remains to be seen if the aforementioned remains true going forward.
Not advocating for this... But realistically - shouldn't Republicans be worried folks with terminal illnesses could start getting creative with how they interact with judges and politicians in their final days?
No. They've got the cops on their side, while liberals are too busy screaming at Trans people for costing them the election
This is fine
