Everything "is what it is". Dealing with it the best I can. I've overcome plenty in life and I'll come out of this ok.

If it goes all way to SCOTUS a decision wouldn't be reached on all or any of these EO actions until way into 2021 or maybe afterwards. Much depends upon if or when legal challenges begin, and what action lower courts take.

It is possible after a lower court ruling to appeal directly to SCOTUS when matter is deemed urgent enough; but it is for court to decide whether the thing is indeed that much of an emergency to warrant bypassing natural order of things.

Off the bat first major question is who will sue DT and or has legal standing to do so.

Remember when trump supporters thought Bernie was going to be the nominee and fear of socialism was all they could talk about? Good times.

That's okay, you'll change your mind six times before now and November.

Personally, I'd rather be me with a job (and too much vacation time) than someone on unemployment, even if they were getting an additional $4K a week.

He is clearly a very clever man.
He's a very intelligent man but the Dem's have you believe otherwise.

The left wanted to continue the $600, the right wanted it reduced to $200. Seems like $400 is a smart compromise and move. Keep in mind this is above the regular unemployment.
Turns out the $400 is actually $300 Federal money, and he's asking the states to chip in $100 per person.
I just saw that (I saw him say it on a YouTube video). Even assuming this executive order was legal (I think not, the president does not have the unilateral spending authority), few if any states have the $100.00 per week that they could apply as their co-pay. I know my state doesn't have it, certainly no red states have it, probably none of the states do.

So effectively, this is a big zero. It's nothing at all. Back to square one.
