    It’s because the President is letting him do it. In many cases, he is exceeding what the President has the lawful authority to let him do, but Congress is also letting him do it.

    It’s bad enough that Congress is ceding its power to the Presidency, but even worse that they are both enabling this asshat.

        What we’ve found out is that it only takes two to collude. The court takes too long to deliberate, and by the time they reach a decision, the damage is done. AND they depend on the executive for enforcement.

        The courts have said a bunch of stuff he’s done is illegal and must be reversed. He’s either ignored them or done the ketamine shuffle (modified his actions to accomplish the same thing without technically breaking the letter of the law).
