The administrative state is under attack and this is just one of the phalanx assaulting it in hopes of getting that sweet sweet 6-3 Love.
The argument, of course, is that only Congress can do everything, and no one else should. Of course, if Congress does do something, it may or may not be constitutional, so really, only the judiciary should determine, bearing in mind that the president is unilaterally endowed with the power of official acts to right all things without due process, as long as his acts can be officially blessed, regardless of his intent.
- Buttons840 2y agoYeah, if congress manages to function at all, they can makes the law, but the courts can declare those laws unconstitutional for reasons not mentioned in the constitution, and in the end the laws are executed by a President who has no reason to consider the law in his official duties (since he's above the law when it comes to official duties, thus, why have any regard for the law at all).
- cyanydeez 2y agoPrecisely, just as, God intended.
- redeeman 2y agohe is above the law in official duties, UNTIL impeached by congress, at which point he very much is not immune
- Buttons840 2y agoI must have missed that part of the constitution. What part says that? Also, I think you mean not just impeached but also convicted. Assuming what you say it true, it's good to know that a President is subject to the law whenever an event that has never happened occurs.

Mr. Trump followed in Mr. Nixon's[1] footsteps. The difference is that this time the Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Trump. As Mr. Trump explained in this interview[0].

- lenkite 2y ago> Mr. Trump followed in Mr. Nixon's[1] footsteps. Don't get this. It was the Obama whitehouse (which included Biden as VP) that was proven to be spying upon Trump. So, how did Trump follow Nixon's footsteps ?

Because you didn't follow the links, you made yourself look foolish by commenting on something completely unrelated to my comment. So sad.
