I'm not an American. Does Congress actually have the ability to enforce the laws they write? What would someone expect a Senator to do?

Warren's party currently controls the executive branch. Though she can't enforce the law, she knows and works with those who can.

And they have had that "official acts" thing from the supreme court for months. Zero reason this problem should have ever lasted this long.

It's a pretty big stretch of the imagination to think that Warren has any ability to get Biden to act that isn't just publicly shaming like this.

I mean yeah but what do you want me specifically to do, I'll chant "lock him up" with as many people as I can, but if I tried to walk up to him and arrest him I'm pretty sure that a secret service agent would blow my head off.

Nick Fuentes address is public and he's still breathing. Tells me all I need to know about liberal activists.

You could say that about all activists. It's not like the leftists don't think Nick Fuentes is a Nazi shitstain. You know it, why are you here posting rather than carrying out the assassination you're condemning others for not performing?

I mean, there's over 3,000 billionaires in the world, could be they're busy with other targets 🤷

So it’s not illegal until Jan 20 then? The article not Warren mention a deadline he missed, just that the thing isn’t signed yet.
