Yes, and therefore it is not the case that "[It] depends on the President currently in power. The judiciary has no real authority to enforce anything." See GP.
> Would you like a list of decrees ignored by previous Presidents?
I would. But as you try to assemble it, bear in mind that the relevant task is to find cases where court orders have been ignored, not "legally circumvented." You will find some of the latter, of course. But I doubt you'll find too many of the former.
I with you agree that executive orders are especially difficult to challenge in court. I also agree with you that, for this and other reasons, executive orders generally have become pretty troubling from both a political and legal standpoint. But neither of these are the claims I was addressing in my comment.
