1. His grift must have been on the fritz with those two.

2. If they passed unanimously, presumably arranging the 2/3 majority veto override vote will be a simple matter?

   So he hasn’t achieved anything other than to delay.

3. I mean…. The veto message is on point with how SE Colorado and Boebert voted. Not that I want to see this result, but I can’t say I feel bad.

4. Hates Colorado since he couldn’t pardon a state level conviction. Hates Indians since his casino dream was thwarted. He’s a vicious, vengeful little child.

5. Good for him. He’s not president so the laws stand.

6. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, ***Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.*** Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. ***But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.***”
