The constitution is not the end all be all —- I’m saying that the use of executive orders to accomplish partisan policy objectives is overreach by the executive branch and should be curtailed. I don’t care much if it’s the legislative or judicial branch that does it.
- jakeogh 6y agoI cant understand your comment unless you define partisan. If the legslative branch deligates the rule making to the executive branch, then take it up with the legslative branch... right? Blaiming the executive branch seems pointless. Am I missing something? The Constitution is the law of the land. Are you referring to the Magna Carta? Humans have inalienable rights, can we agree? I believe people have the inaleinable right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"... someone could call that a partisan policy objective.

I don’t agree with some of the rhetoric in this oped wrt COVID, but I do like the case it lays out: https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/5/executive-orders-are-not-laws/ https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/5/executive-orde...
