Rep. Thomas Massie on Monday wrote that Speaker Mike Johnson has “misled” Republicans to believe they are powerless against President Joe Biden, citing a story from the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Occasionally, constitutionality of a law was a question, but only as a side effect of Scalia’s job, which was to determine if someone had been harmed and what the remedy was. He was adamant that his job was not to referee disagreements between the executive & the legislature. Scalia continued, “You have the power of the purse. You fund everything you complain about. Quit funding it and the President won’t be able to do it.” Most of my colleagues were dumbfounded. Boehner had convinced them the executive was too powerful for us.
Massie, along with Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar , have sponsored a motion to vacate the chair, which would remove Johnson as Speaker.
