Ray Buckley had a bad day. In an interview on Bloomberg Radio, the host roasted his chestnuts over the Democrat party of New Hampshire’s lawsuit against Gov Chris Sununu.

Democrats want a legislative standing committee they control to make the decisions about how Federal emergency dollars are distributed. The governor, who has exercised his executive authority to issue emergency orders, has created a separate committee or commission to perform this task.
Long story short, the Democrat’s concern is that they will have less influence over who gets your money if Sununu’s commission makes the decisions. And we’re talking about a lot of money. So the subject was broached in the aforementioned Bloomberg radio interview. The issue at hand? Democrats are accusing Sununu of petty partisan politics.
The section of it we have sounds excerpted and I don’t have access to the full interview. But you’ll get the gist. The host is giving New Hampshire Democrat Party Chairman Ray Buckley a really hard time about this lawsuit looking like petty partisan politics. So, it’s worth the two minutes to listen.
As you all know, there is almost nothing Democrats do that is not motivated by partisan politics. So, regardless of whether you think NH Dems should challenge the methods by which the Governor has deigned to allocate Federal COVID-19 recovery money, taking it to court – slowing down the whole process while people and businesses go under – looks petty and partisan.
Buckley deserves this. And I think the Democrats made a mistake, even if they are correct.
The law as written provides the governor with broad discretion to issue emergency orders. A past legislature gave that office this authority in 2002. It’s been unchanged for 18-years, as far as I can tell.
The same statute also gives the legislature, which Democrats currently control, the same authority (to issue emergency orders), including the power to revoke an emergency order issued by them or the governor. They could step in anytime and start messing with the secret sauce if they don’t like how it looks. But that might appear petty and partisan. And until the money came along, Sununu was doing what they wanted. killing the economy.
Then there is another partisan problem for the left. When Trump started to act Democrats called him names. They contradicted the assertions. But when it became apparent that Trump was probably right the same Democrats accused him of not acting soon enough.
Democrats Pelosi and Schiff are looking at yet another investigation into the response despite the risk of War-weariness in the general population over this non-stop left-wing ax-grinding.
The same holds true here. Your lawsuit is wearying, and Republicans will beat the crap out of you over unnecessary delays. Even if Democrats may have a legal leg to stand on, I have no idea one way or the other, Republicans probably saw your reaction coming and outplayed you. Feel free to give them free campaign material.
The reality is this. Taking Sununu to court over what room full of ruling class douchebags decides to which cronies they will hand out our money looks petty. Like you are playing partisan politics. Which is the argument you continue to cling to while pointing at the governor with the emergency powers during a fear-mongering crisis whose magnitude – by the f-ing way – is directly proportional to the non-stop antics of the scaremongering partisan liberal press! Your water-carriers.
In other words, the left forced Sununu’s hand, and made him go all-in, because, at the heart of the matter, all Democrats wanted was to destroy the economy to hurt Trump. New Hampshire Democrat mayors were demanding Gov. Sununu issue emergency orders.
Now that he has this power you want to start a pissing contest but all you are doing is peeing all over yourselves.
