    Yeah, I feel like the president crossed the Rubicon a long time ago. When do you think that was? I assume it was before Reagan, because his administration openly defied congress and got away with it.

    This is why everyone in Congress needs to be replaced.

    What counter? An EO isn’t law. Whoever says it is will get a kick in the ‘nards from a judge and they’ll be back in the shit.

    It’s just pointless idiocy.
