CA: I don’t want to burst your caffeine high but you may be surprised at the degree to which Biden will call the shots and not be captive to the Sanders/AOC cabal. Pelosi’s 25th amendment Commission was not directed at Biden. If you have any doubts, just do a bit of research as to how it evolved and the political calculus leading to its introduction. Hint: The 25 Amendment Commission was first conceived in an American University law school class taught by Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and which he subsequently introduced as legislation back in March 2017 and again in the current Congress in 2019. Pelosi decided it was good politics to remind the public about the issue when the White House became “ground zero” for covid last month. Ted Cruz, an otherwise really smart lawyer, quickly decided it was equally good politics and a great conspiracy theory to claim Pelosi’s real motive was to set up Harris as acting President under the direction of Bernie and AOC. It was a good comic relief for several weeks leading up to the election. As a practical matter, with a geriatric president and president elect, it would be smart to deal with the issue a lot better than the uncertain prevailing under the vague 25th Amendment language.
