They have not even once attempted to push for it. This could have easily been a plank in the DHS shutdown negotiations. If you have a real argument to make about why they couldn’t do anything and have to sit idly by I’d love to hear it

DHS has been shut down for months. How does this constitute "sitting idly by"?

That's not what you said though

You clearly said that they have the authority to "drag the chief judge of the BIA into hearings".

That's simply false.

I tend to think the democrats could do a lot more to get their message out and build a compelling brand for the party. That they should propose a compelling vision for the country and not rely entirely on backlash, which will deliver them a skin-deep majority.

But the minority party cannot call hearings. They cannot drag anyone in front of congress. They do not have that legal authority.

Yeah, I'm always ping-ponging back and forth between "they actually can't do anything on this one with their institutional power" and "hey, they could actually be doing much better messaging on this particular issue"
