Your point was that...
Is clearly wrong. Of course, federalism is about those issues addressed by "states' rights" and/or local control.Federalism isn't "states rights", and it isn't "local control" or any of the terms you mishmash together
That the balance of power changes has nothing to do with your inability to define the word.
It's not contractual here. You are making a bunch of bullshit excuses.... if if if. None of them apply and meanwhile you cheer his attacks on Federalism and his attempts to assume powers he does not possess.
No fucking statute over rules the constitution or can possibly give the President, Congress or anybody else an exemption from it. Congress has no power to grant the President any exemptions to the Constitution. Your plenary powers are bullshit. Certainly, the executive is afforded some deference but now way in hell is his power unqualified. Nothing in the constitution says it is or could be.
You are nothing but a fraud toting water for a wannabe dictator.

is problematic. you used "division of power" I agreed -and yet you comeback with these mishmash and tellme i'm wrong?
This is why it's absolutely useless debating you. your points are as firm as jello -and all you really want to do is argue in absurdum. Find someone else to play the circle game.

My definition of federalism IS the standard definition! Yes, you are wrong. Federalism absolutely touches on those issues.
State whatever weird definition you want to use, jackass, and just STFU about it.
Congress cannot grant any unqualified powers to the executive through statute. No such power is granted to them by the constitution. Your attempts to destroy federalism and our republic by creating a dictatorship will have to come through an amendment.

of course it "touches" but those words you were using are not a defininition -it's simplistic dumbed down wording to use "states rights".
It's pejorative, not accurate and should only be used in quotes like I did.
i have no idea what we practice now..we're past 'new federalism', I suppose the best definition is regulatory/administrative over-reach in to state affairs. as i've mentioned before.State whatever weird definition you want to use, jackass, and just STFU about it.
But that does not mean there aren't enumerated powers of the feds on immigration and by statute.
how about "new and improved" federalism..lol. the Unitary president still has enumerated powers -it's that over-reach that is problematic.
hyperbolic nonsense even from youCongress cannot grant any unqualified powers to the executive through statute. No such power is granted to them by the constitution. Your attempts to destroy federalism and our republic by creating a dictatorship will have to come through an amendment.

"Congress has granted statutory powers that are so wide they are plenary powers over immigration." a #108
By some weak interpretation of text book notion perhaps.
But congress is a LEGISLATIVE body. They don't carry guns, Mace, and handcuffs and scurry around writing parking tickets.
If the U.S. federal government had infinite resources, then U.S. federal statutes might as well be the word of god.
But in practice, BECAUSE U.S. resources are finite, priorities are by necessity implemented in the enforcement of congress' statutes.
And unless enumerated in the statutory language, those priorities become the purview of, in this case, the president.
You don't need me to explain the equilibrium of "separation of powers". But as you know, an equilibrium is not static. It's a perpetual contest for authority.
Right now, on this issue, it seems like President Trump may be winning. But the fat lady ain't singin' yet.
FUCK OFF! I don't need instructions from someone as stupid as you on my word choices!
I did not use it as a definition, I mentioned those things in the same sentence because they are OBVIOUSLY related. Apparently, you did not know but it is a fact that federalism deals with issues raised by "states' rights" arguments and those concerning local control.
The only enumerated power in the constitution even related to immigration is granted to congress.
If congress could simply grant the President exemption from the tenth amendment it would absolutely destroy federalism.
You are a fraud. You apparently don't have the first clue what our Constitution says or what federalism is.

"Nope." DI #113
Yup.
"The president cannot add any stipulations" DI #113
"Stipulations"? I don't recall where that word was introduced into this discussion.
Your ostensibly corrective wording:
"congress has to enumerate them "unambiguously" in the statute and they have not." DI #113
My posted comment which you are ostensibly correcting:
".And unless enumerated in the statutory language, those priorities become the purview of, in this case, the president." s
There you go. You're agreeing with me, and pretending to correct me all in the same sentence fragment.
"congress has to enumerate them "unambiguously" in the statute and they have not." DI #113
Excellent!
Then please explain to us why:
a) Obama was able to adjust the standard from birth certificate designated gender to the gender self-identification standard, and
b) how Trump is now able to reverse it
yet the statutory language hasn't changed IN EITHER CASE !
You are ostensibly disagreeing with me, despite the wording of your post.
But the newspapers are proving me correct daily.
as long as you put "states right" in quotes you are good. There is no such stand alone definition of states rights.
mindlessly ignorant to even bring this up. Congress delegates immigration authortty to POTUS, POTUS enforces by administrative law.The only enumerated power in the constitution even related to immigration is granted to congress.
POTUS has wide latititude -look at DARPA by Obama. It just so happened Texas et all US
caught Obama up as "legislating".. Other then "legislating" POTUS powers are extensive.
It's not unreasonable to say that withholding funds on immigration related matters isn't Constitutional.
It depends on how they are drawn..

I don't think I am answering with you but maybe I am wrong.
Your words suggests that the President can direct the priority of resource usage so long as Congress has not enumerated any priorities in the statute.
But in practice, BECAUSE U.S.resources are finite, priorities are by necessity implemented in the enforcement of congress' statutes.And unless enumerated in the statutory language, those priorities become the purview of, in this case, the president.
But that is not really the case. The President cannot set priorities by cutting funding based on non compliance with directives unless they are enumerated in the statue. If I am not disagreeing with you then ok but I still think your sentences are a bit misleading.
a) I assume you are asking in relation to the the bathroom issues... I don't know what his basis for that was but I am guessing it is title IX. I can look deeper but title IX gives the feds the power to cut funding for gender discrimination.
b) Trump can reverse any EO.
Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
States' rights. States' rights. States' rights....
I usually put the term "states' rights" in quotes because the concept is utter bullshit (states do not have rights). IDK, why you insist on them but I am guessing it's based on your ignorance of the language.

No, most immigration law is set in statute not through administrative law.
If congress must delegate to the Prez then that is obviously not a plenary or unquestioned power and Congress certainly cannot grant exemption to the tenth.
Spending is clearly a legislative power.
??? Your triple negative makes your meaning a little hard to determine. Did you mean...
It's reasonable to say that withholding funds on immigration related matters is Constitutional.
It has to be related to immigration and it has to be done by congress.
Please, take a break from attacking our democracy and take a refresher course in the English language, comrade. LOL

fantastic..keep up the quotes,and you'll get no corrections from myself
*duh* It's enforced thru administrative law -exactly what I said, yet you fail to comprehend,or reactively disagreeNo, most immigration law is set in statute not through administrative law.
why you keep going on and on is not my concern.If congress must delegate to the Prez then that is obviously not a plenary or unquestioned power and Congress certainly cannot grant exemption to the tenth.
POTUS has wide discressionary power -so long as it's not effectively legislating enforcement
again see Tx et all v US
.....you are flat lining..when discresionary enforcement becomes much more then simple "prosecutorial discretion" it is in fact legislating..spending has nothing to do with itSpending is clearly a legislative power.
??? Your triple negative makes your meaning a little hard to determine. Did you mean...by anatta
It's not unreasonable to say that withholding funds on immigration related matters isn't Constitutional.you miss the idea that POTUS can enjoin funding to states who do not conform to administrative guidelines.It has to be related to immigration and it has to be done by congress.
Obama was threatening the exact same thing with his "guidance" on bathroom law.
" The President cannot set priorities by cutting funding based on non compliance with directives unless they are enumerated in the statue. " DI #116
Congress controls the $purse $strings.
BUT !!
If congress appropriates $X.xx for ICE, the president has some influence on HOW that $X.xx is spent.
For example, Obama reportedly deported more illegal aliens in 8 years than Bush did in 8 years.
BUT !!
Obama's priority was to deport those with records of violent crime, rather than tax paying soccer Moms that happened to not have documentation.
PS
The thread topic is rec mj. I'll try to steer it back there.
"..when discresionary enforcement becomes much more then simple "prosecutorial discretion" it is in fact legislating..spending has nothing to do with it" a #118
It's all up & down the line.
Do prosecutors have discretion? SURE!
Do the front-line troops (local State & federal law enforcers) have discretion? SURE!
Does everyone else in the chain have discretion? OF COURSE!
BUT !!
It's the president that has policy discretion, more so than the DEA agent with the handcuffs tucked into the utility belt of his uniform.
