Quote:As the past two presidents have done, Democrat Joe Biden plans a mass of executive orders to enact his agenda – these designed to unwind the agenda of President Donald Trump.

The orders are going to come swiftly after his potential swearing in Jan. 20, The Washington Post reported.

"The policy team, the transition policy teams, are focusing now very much on executive power," a source, a close Biden ally, told the Post. "I expect that to be freely used in a Biden administration at this point, if the Senate becomes a roadblock."

The orders will address Biden's agenda items of climate change, healthcare, and immigration, according to the report.

Quote:Joe Biden is planning on Monday to name a 12-member coronavirus task force to start working early on ways to contain the spiraling spread of COVID-19, according to sources close to the former vice president.

The plans signal Biden's intent to address the disease as his immediate priority for both his transition into the White House and then his administration, reports Axios, who listed Biden's plans before most national outlets announced the former vice president had clinched the election Saturday.

Three top experts will co-chair the task force, and members of the upcoming group have advised Biden through the campaign. The leaders will be former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler, and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith from Yale University.

Biden has been advised on public policy challenges and on how to adopt health protocols for his campaign, including on preventing the spread of the potentially deadly virus in Biden's inner circle.

During his address Friday night, Biden said voters gave his campaign "a mandate for action on COVID, the economy, climate change, and systemic racism.

According to the latest reports, the United States has suffered 236,000 deaths from COVID-19 and has set new case number rates in the past month.

However, it will be challenging for Biden to implement some of the plans he has to fight the virus, considering that he'll likely face a Republican-controlled Senate who may not support his calls for a greater federal role in contact tracing and testing, said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, told The Washington Post.

Meanwhile, projects from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington say the worst part of the pandemic could hit in mid-to-late January, around the time Biden would be sworn in.

Biden has said he will urge mask mandates, create a panel to scale up testing, and outline detailed plans for distributing vaccines to the entire nation.

He's got a phone & a pen.

Also sounds like his virus plans aren't any different then what's going on already. Shocker.

I am curious what his plans are for systemic racism tho.

Lockdowns and wear your mask at home!

Idiots.

After he’s sworn in he’s taking a nap where Trump started working immediately.

The next day he’ll be declared incompetent. He’ll leave office and collect that presidential salary for life.

Supreme Court key here. Resist 46 needs an alliance of Repub AGs and a slew of lawyers ready to go.

Executive Orders here. Executive Orders there. It has been going on way too long. We do not elect Emperors or Tsars. Why the hell do we a Legislature anyway? Aren't they supposed to create the laws under which we have to live?

Remember they both said they wouldn't take a vaccine Trump said was safe.
Bet they get the vaccine as soon as it is ready to roll...
and Biden and Kamala will take full credit for the vaccine when its ready.

Thats ok. Expect the new more conservative SC to become a bigger factor in reigning in excessive over reach by executive orders--if it gets objectionable.

The Dems will pass new laws on anything and everything they want for at least the first two years of a Biden administration if they win the two Georgia Senate seats, including taking over the Supreme Court by adding as many new Justices as they need. If they pass a law changing the Presidential voting law to a popular vote winner, we may never see another Republican President in our lifetime.

50 - 50 Senate is the best they can hope for. I doubt any structural changes pass in that scenario.

You mean Susan Rice will be the tiebreaker. Joe will be room temp by then and Kommieala will be taking orders from Soros, Xi and the mullahs.

Wait a sec... didn't the courts say a president can't undo EOs from prior presidents?

Or did they just say Trump couldn't undo Obama's EOs?

Yeah dude I had civics. But no way the Demons get 51 for anything radical, unless RINOS get involved and if they do then the Republic is lost and we will act accordingly.
