- laughing_man 1y agoNot at all. The president has to protect the powers of his office, and when the courts overstep he doesn't have an obligation to give them deference.
- Rapzid 1y agoIt's not the role of the executive to determine that, it's up to the judicial and legislative. Ignoring court orders is wildly inappropriate.
- kelnos 1y agoExcept this president thinks he has the powers of a king. Which he doesn't, and courts are right to slap him down. There's no such thing as "courts overstep" in our system. The courts are the final word on things in the US. By definition, they cannot overstep. You or I can disagree with their rulings, but they have the force of law, unless overturned by a higher court.
- dalyons 1y agoAre the courts overstepping or is he just issuing blatantly illegal orders?
- laughing_man 1y agoThe courts are definitely overstepping. Note that I'm not arguing against injunctions by the higher courts. The issue is district court judges don't have jurisdiction outside their of their district and should not be trying to issue nationwide injunctions.
