Yes, immunity means there are zero downsides for him to try illegal things. That doesn't legalize illegal orders, it just means they all have to wait for their day in court.
- masfuerte 2y agoBut what happens after the day in court? What is to stop him carrying on with the illegal policies?
- outer_web 2y agoA few things but your concern is totally valid; we are in a bad place if he does not back down. 1. Executive power has limits. E.g. civil litigation and state law are largely outside his jurisdiction. 2. Agents of the government must follow the law, even if it contradicts an exective order. They open themselves to criminal liability if they don't. 3. Congress. Haha just kidding that's only in the timeline where Harambe is still alive.
