vcczar Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is a thread for things that have occurred during the Biden Presidency that need to be in the game. What events, legislation, presidential actions, governor actions, SC Cases, scripted events, etc. define his presidency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortKing Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 For scotus cases, Dobbs goes without saying, but WV v EPA is a good one. Could gain points for big business, conservatives, trads and lose points for reformists, environmmentalists, progs and libs, reverse if it goes the other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Derived from Dobbs we could need the gubernatorial actions to decide Loving v. Virginia and Griswold v. Connecticut at state level. I forgot if that's already in the game or not, but that came to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConservativeElector2 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Gubernatorial action to defund/increase funding for police departments.

ConservativeElector2 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) According to a news article I read to today, it seems school corporal punishment is discussed again. The news was that a city in Missouri reintroduces it although it seems about half of the states have no absolute laws against it. This is based on the 1977 Supreme Court case Ingraham v. Wright (which could have outlawed it altogether based on the 8th amendment). Only IA and NJ ban corporal punishment (against children?) privately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_corporal_punishment_in_the_United_States#Current_state_law_as_of_2019 Edited August 27, 2022 by ConservativeElector2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would see a doable Gov action - maybe two if we look at the private thing too - as well as adding the aformentioned SC case to handle the issue. It's weird because I actually read first about it on an Austrian news website, which wrote something like "School district in Missouri reintroduces corporal punishment for school children" in one of their first headlines today. Not sure how American websites reacted to it. Maybe I'll look on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConservativeElector2 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I saw an article that an insulin price cap is being debated. Not sure if that's already in the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortKing Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 This isn't something Biden is doing, but a pres exec action might be expanding domestic oil production? It's a move that some have called for but hasn't actually been pursued. Maybe also the option to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?

0ccultist Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Legs: Subsidies to semiconductors could be interesting. Not sure if it, or parts of it are in game but the IRA. and with dobbs an insane thing you could let happen is what progressive activist pushed for: abortions on federal land as a Pres action.
