Quote:Republican Senator Mike Crapo (it's pronounced Cray-poe), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, sent a letter to the SSA's commissioner, Frank Bisignano, giving him just two weeks to provide answers to concerns raised last month by now-former SSA Chief Data Officer Charles Borges. The former CDO's whistleblower complaint alleged that the presidentially approved cost-cutting unit had duplicated a critical database filled with taxpayer information, known as Numident, to a test cloud environment that wasn't managed by Borges or SSA, and which allegedly is without any oversight controls.

Numident is used to store records of every person who has ever applied for a Social Security Card in the United States.

Crapo's questions are numerous, but one with a much shorter deadline stands out: He wants to know whether that duplicate database "was accessed, leaked, hacked, or disseminated in any unauthorized fashion," and he wants it "immediately upon receipt of this letter."

Note that your free speech rights are specifically not under the control of Congress... which in modern times has been defined as the legislative branch of your government.

That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC.  Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!

If that happens according to that timetable and it takes as long for the amendment to pass as it took the Twenty-first Amendment to pass, it doesn't give His Orangeness the satisfaction of being elected fair-and-square. If he cares about the rules (based on past performance, that's a mighty big "if", but maybe somebody convinces him to do it that way for how he'll look to other world leaders), he'd want the amendment process to start at least two months earlier than in that timetable. (But not too much earlier, so that his opposition doesn't have time to ready a defence if they're taken by surprise.)

Would he go with State ratifying convention ratification instead of State legislature ratification? While that wouldn't be a complete avoidance of the state legislatures -- New Mexico law says that the members of the legislature are the convention -- it would provide more control over the timetable. Also, ratifying conventions were used the only other time that an amendment repealed another amendment.
