President Joe Biden’s administration is backing legislation that would let it seize some of $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to help pay for reconstruction of Ukraine, a shift as the White House seeks to rally support in Congress to further fund the war against Vladimir Putin’s forces.
But your missing a step. You need a bill to make that illegal before you can support a bill for the government to seize it.
These are frozen Russian assests. There is an interloctary injunction on this money. That’s why it is simpler to seize this money than to start seizing money from churches.
Edit: I’m sure as shit with you that we should start collecting money from churches, but this isn’t that.
