Darn, I was hoping for Hulk Hogan.

Close enough, I guess.

The first cut has to be pretty big. I mean as big as fuck. So that the next huge slice is eliminated and people might say, “well by golly; we can live without 40% of the DEPT OF EDUCATION!”

Incremental should not mean “so unobtrusive as to be meaningless.”

I suspect there is a lot of meaningless function in the DOE. That can go NOW. Anything the states need...they should be prepared...given time to transition.....then WHACK.

Your ongoing delusions of adequacy to the side, let us discuss.

Here are some cool facts.

The President is obligated to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.

So, he can unquestionably make a determination that the Dept of Education itself is unconstitutional.

It’s absurd to believe that the libs and Democratics would just roll over. So, there is zero doubt that it would end up in court.

There, the new AG would be the one required to defend the President’s action.

The case would swiftly end up in the SCOTUS.

You are so funny in your ignorance.
NONE of what you posted is remotely true. In fact, the Solicitor General argues cases before SCOTUS. The one thing you did get close on is that such action would wind up before SCOTUS where it would be laughed out of court 9-0.

This latest Trump selection seems pretty strange — until one realizes

that the U.S. Department of “Education” won’t be around very long once Trump is inaugurated.

It will be around until Congress decides to do it.

l have been teaching for 30 years and, other than dole out some Title 1 money, I have no idea what they do. None whatsoever.

Or — and hear me out on this — the Trump Administration could just invoke the oath to protect the Constitution and declare that he was disbanding the Dept of Education.

Then? Some public interest lib group sues the government to void Trump’s move.

AG Gaetz has the job of defending the Administration. And it’s in front of a conservative Supreme Court ….

Hmmmm. I should be a presidential advisor!

The US Solicitor General represents the administration at SCOTUS, and they need to be way more experienced than Gaetz.

I am sure you think Congress will play along.

Linda is very good at firing people, so she will be great at the job.

Here is Linda in action at WWE firing Jim Ross, with the traditional kick in the crotch (4:45).

wrong McMahon....

They need SOMEBODY there to turn out the lights.

As long as that is the plan, I'll be good with it. If this is just part of a game of three card monte, not so much.

Again, while I agree that it may be beneficial to phase out the elimination of the federal DEPT OF EDUCATION, it cannot be done in such tiny steps as to basically just give it a close shave and a haircut.

The solicitor general isn’t the AG. Arguing the case before the SCOTUS is not the point and never was. (And, by the way, you self important asshole, you’re also wrong. An AG is certainly allowed to grant himself the task of making the oral arguments to the SCOTUS. RFK did it as AG, for instance.)

And the SCOTUS would almost certainly permit the President to eliminate the Dept of Education since it clearly does not comport with the Constitution.

There is not a single solitary grant of any enumerated power given to the federal government over “Education.”

Try again, ensign.

If the qualifications of Trump's other nominees are indicative, his Secretary of Education probably didn't graduate kindergarten.

Maybe. Or maybe not.

In purely historical terms, when the quagmire that is the DC establishment can’t manage to act, Trump has other tools and powers to accomplish his goals.

The DOE was created in 1979. The following year, Ronald Reagan promised to kill it in the cradle...

.

The briefs filed for the United States are under the name of the AG.

And an AG is the boss of the Solicitor General. So if the AG were to direct the Solicitor General to stand aside so that the AG could make the arguments to SCORUS (for oral arguments), the AG could legally do so.

It doesn’t matter though. Personally, I wouldn’t want Gaetz to handle the oral arguments. That’s not even what I was addressing. But instead, again, it is the AG and his DOJ who would perform the duties involved in sustaining the move by Trump to scuttle the Dept of Education.

There was no insurrection. You idiot. And yes, it does fall to the President to protect the Constitution from the efforts of you lefturds to undermine it.
