…It was hard not to detect a note of reproach for the current #dysfunctional state of affairs in #Congress in Justice #Gorsuch’s reflections about the virtues of #legislating, in which, he wrote, “deliberation tempers impulse, & compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions.”

“For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent,” he added. “For others, it may not seem so obvious.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a bill to make Pete Buttigieg's salary 1$. It passed the House last night. Many other staffers salaries were targeted but only "Pothole Pete" will continue to the Senate.

House GOP effort to reduce Buttigieg's pay to $1 passes, other cuts to federal salaries fail

Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., introduced an amendment to reduce the salary of Polly Trottenberg, deputy secretary of Transportation, to $1 but failed 318-112 with Republican and Democrat votes against it. On the other hand, a resolution to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's salary to $1 was passed the GOP-led House.

#Legislating might be after all a matter of principle and #belief; in the #aiart debate there will be #liberals and #conservatives. I am trying to find out where I am at in that spectrum.
