Bottom line as Schumer has said, it's only a disagreement.
Add no one has claimed courts would fully shutdown, as you suggest
There's no such thing as complete shut down and that is the 30+ year lie and threat that the gop nazi party has used to never balance a budget.
there. What has been said by a number of sources is that courts would only take essential cases. As i understand appeals against DOGE actions would not be in that category. See again:
The question, however, is whether that damage would be worse than not passing the CR and instead letting the government shut down. Faced with that decision, Schumer and a subset of his colleagues voted for the CR and thus against a shutdown. Did they vote for a terrible law? Absolutely, as they were the first to admit. Did they nonetheless make the right choice? Without question.
What would happen if there were “too few” laws, as I put it above? Trump would not be required to do anything. Moreover, because an unrelated set of backup laws allow some core functions of government to continue even during a shutdown, Trump could claim that the government was still functioning, and he could even say that this was exactly the right level at which government should function. “If we can get by without these government functions when there’s a shutdown, who says we need them at all?” he might disingenuously ask. [...] Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, who disagreed with Schumer about the CR, inadvertently made a telling point when he said in an interview ..
.. that the Trump administration had lost some court cases in the last few weeks, as judges have struck down Trump’s lawless attempts to dismantle the government. Kaine seemed to think that voting for the CR would amount to an endorsement of lawlessness, but that has it precisely backward, because judges can only rule that Trump has violated a spending law if that spending law exists. Without a CR, there is no law for the courts to enforce. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175963553
Oh, and on your numbers point, it was interesting for me to see
Furthermore, Schumer was likely honoring the wishes of members who wanted him to save them from themselves. Punchbowl reported Monday that “based on our conversations with Democratic senators, many more Senate Democrats than just the nine who voted with Schumer agreed with his ultimate decision.” This is a familiar strategy in Washington, known as “vote no, hope yes.” Leadership can be a lonely job when tough decisions like this one are required. After all, a leader with no followers is just a guy taking a walk. that .. here .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175964785 .
"This one time I do not need to question my position, you do. And should."
Be assured i will continue to question mine. On any matter, seems to be in my DNA
