Rolling Out Police Reform as an Executive Order

For John, BLUF:  The linked article is a rather sarcastic view of our President and his leadership, but it points out a problem—Executive Orders.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Biden Expected To Sign Police Reform Executive Order

From the Victory Girls blog, by Ms Toni Williams, 14 January 2022.

Here is the lede plus one:

NBC News is reporting that Joe Biden is expected to sign an Executive Order on Police Reform since recent efforts in Congress have stalled.  The Biden Junta hopes that this Executive Order (EO) will shore up faltering support among Black voters.  Likely the policing EO will also give Biden an opportunity to rant against Donald Trump, always popular with the Left, insult half of America, shout for no reason and pound the little mini-desk in his fake Oval Office set.

The good news is that at least most of the Lefty Moonbats have stopped shouting “Defund the Police”.  The bad news is that there has been absolutely no effort at bipartisan negotiations on real police reforms.  A year and a half ago, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott wrote a not perfect bill with some police reforms.  When the Democrats wouldn’t take up Scott’s bill, he said it was because the Dems cynically wanted the issue, a divisive racial issue.  Read Deanna’s post here.

In 2020 and 2021, the Democrats have failed to move on the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act”.  Creepy Joe Bidenf has failed at absolutely everything he has touched (energy, supply chain, Afghanistan, to name a few) and he got a new dog last month.  So what’s a failed President to do?  Sign an Executive Order, that’s the ticket.

The use of an Executive Order is a sign of Congressional failure.  zzThe job belongs to Congress, and Congress is failing in this area.  Why can we not have a compromise as a step forward.

Which of our Congresscritters thinks an Executive Order is the way forward?&nbp; Does this not move us toward a nation that has moved from Democracy to Anocracy, as my Middle Brother would say?
