Opinions where they very explicitly detail the applicable laws that are in scope, what facts are before the court, the judicial opinions that have come before, and why they believe their actions are in concordance with the law. You sound like you only read biased hysterical takes that ignore the nuance of the source material. Byrd, I really expected better of you. To be fair, those misrepresentations are what make up 98% of the mainstream media, because sensationalism sells, but still.
Actually, I've listened to a number of lawyers commenting on this.

Who is stopping the government from opening back up again?
That'd be Mike Johnson, eh?
He's sent the House of Representatives home on multiple occasions to avoid votes that would have gone against Trump. All that's needed for the government to open up is for the Democrats to agree to let the Medicare supplements expire so that we can pay a whole lot more for health insurance; https://apnews.com/article/house-speaker...646dfd2b37

Next.
In the age of AI generated deepfakes, it would be unwise to simply assume something was true on the basis of only a brief video.
Such things require corroboration, especially now.

They were both highly capitalist, and they stepped down without demurring when their respective terms were over.
And Trump's frequent popular appeals to the issues of 'the working man' and his distancing himself from alleged 'elites', are particularly Marxist tropes.
While I don't really think he is that much of a 'Karl' Marxist, he is definitely a 'Groucho' Marxist in cynical one-liners...

Similarly, in the July 19, 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump won the the nomination for candidacy. Trump, however, was not mentioned in early polls because he was a late entry (in June 2015).
You can check the details online. It's all on record.
Yes on paper she got the Votes.
Quote:Allegations of DNC bias
- Leaked emails: The most significant evidence of bias came from internal DNC emails published by WikiLeaks during the Democratic National Convention in July 2016. The emails revealed that some party officials harbored a negative view of the Sanders campaign and worked to undermine it. This led to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
- Joint fundraising agreement: In November 2017, former interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile alleged in a book that the Clinton campaign had essentially taken over the DNC's operations and fundraising as early as August 2015. Because the DNC was in dire financial straits, the Clinton campaign provided money in exchange for control over strategy, staffing, and finances—an arrangement that other campaigns, including Sanders', did not have.
- Debate scheduling: Critics accused the DNC of trying to limit exposure for Sanders by scheduling debates on weekend evenings when viewership would be lower.
- Superdelegates: The superdelegate system also drew criticism, as many of these unpledged delegates announced their support for Clinton early in the process. This created the perception that Clinton had an insurmountable lead, even though Sanders was performing strongly in some early states. The DNC later changed its rules for 2020 to prevent superdelegates from voting on the first ballot at the convention.
“The American press is a shame and a reproach to a civilized people. When a man is too lazy to work and too cowardly to steal, he becomes an editor and manufactures public opinion.”

Which administration has purchased stakes in public company?
I could very easily point out other things that are very much going against the norm of capitalism.
