Executive Orders aren’t law.

Executive Orders aren’t law.
- Terr_ 2y agoThis Executive Order says they are law, checkmate, sane people.
- Ancapistani 2y agoWhere exactly does it say that?
- thiht 2y agoIt doesn’t need to be said everywhere when the president takes full power for himself and all institutions let him do so without saying anything.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoPerhaps not. But that wasn't Terr_'s claim. Where does it say that?
- Balgair 2y agoThe way I read it, Terr was being sarcastic
- DangitBobby 2y agoSection 7
- deadbabe 2y agoJudge can say no it isn’t and you’ll have to fight it out in court.
- Tadpole9181 2y agoThe judge doesn't have control of law enforcement and the military.
- deadbabe 2y agoThe states can say no.
- Tadpole9181 2y agoWell half of them outright won't for obvious reasons. And so what if a state says no? That doesn't change anything. He is now saying his word is above the legislative and judicial branch and all enforcement and regulatory powers of the federal government answer exclusively to his will. This is America's Gleichschaltung. The president is now the absolute authority of the entire administrative state.
- deadbabe 2y agoThe president has no such authority, no matter how much he claims to. The power is with the states.
- Tadpole9181 2y ago> No matter how much he claims to. Unless he makes a series of public orders that says he will install Apparatchiks in every independent agency and law enforcement agency for compliance, will (and does) fire anyone who goes against his will, then states that he is the sole arbiter of law for all law enforcement and military members. Then he very much can have that authority if enough people comply. And, if you look around, it's pretty obvious the police and executive are complying.
- deadbabe 2y agoSince the President’s power ultimately relies on others compliance, what if a bunch of very high ranking officials in the military simply decide they’re going to ignore the President? No more power. At the end of the day, there is no true forcing function that forces people to comply if they don’t want to. It can all come crumbling down. Trump is playing a dangerous game.
- sph 2y agoWhat happens when they decide to ignore the court? The water is at 80C and the frogs are still saying it won't get to boiling yet.
- deadbabe 2y agoCourt reiterates they cannot.
- thrance 2y agoAnd that's why they've been threatening uncooperative judges with prison and unemployment.
