How do I know what? That these are junk bills? Simple, pay attention to what the House has actually been doing and what they have been voting on.

If they lose the suit (and they will) the Republican lawmakers should have to personally repay the taxpayer's money they wasted on this courtroom circus.

Oh I am sure you think everything the Republicans in the House pass is the most perfect bill ever passed.

One wonders what you would suggest to reign in a POTUS that is out of control, but has the senate controlled by his own party to have his back

Not really, but it should come up for a vote, don't you think?

And obviously you think they are all junk, which you cannot prove.

Haha, you think our president is "out of control?" That was a good one.

So let me get this straight, we have a president who is from a specific party, and that specific party thus supports the president with what he wants to do as president? You do realize that is how every president has always functioned. That is why presidents belong to specific parties and why it is good to have that party in control of one or both of the branches in Congress.

I would tend to agree on the politically connected aspect. That said, how is it any different than money from the AHA being funneled to politically funded groups that support the (D's)?

If the bill tries to defund ACA, then it is a junk bill. Why would I want to waste my time going through every bill the House puts up just to prove a point to some random person on the internet?

Why should the Senate waste their time voting for bills that would never pass to begin with? We would never get anything through Congress because the House would just flood the Senate with junk bills that they knew would never pass.
