Executive Orders are unconstitutional. Always have been. Only the legislative branch of government has the authority, under the Constitution, to establish laws.

We’ve let this go un-checked since FDR’s days. Needs to stop—NOW!

Why then have we/cong/sen allowed it in the past. Where does the constitution say that? I want to know so I can allert my representatives or at least one beanhead, Mary Landrieu the rest are on our side.

Folks stop and think about this. An Executive Order is an order to Executive Branch employees. It does not create general laws which the public must follow. What he can try to do is direct federal law enforcement and military to execute existing laws against us, but he can not make public law. How this all will work out remains to be seen. The biggest threat is if he declares martial law, since then existing laws on the books will give him broad powers to suspend various rights and screw us over.
