'This is no way to make law,' left-wing NYT board writes
The left-wing New York Times editorial board supported President Biden's campaign and celebrated his victory, but mild criticism of his spate of executive actions drew a rebuke from Biden's communications director Thursday morning.
Chummily headlined, "Ease up on the Executive Actions, Joe," the editorial board admonished him against relying too heavily on executive orders. Biden has signed dozens since taking office last week, addressing issues from climate change to coronavirus to overseas abortions to cancelling the Keystone Pipeline.
"But this is no way to make law," the board wrote. "A polarized, narrowly divided Congress may offer Mr. Biden little choice but to employ executive actions or see his entire agenda held hostage. These directives, however, are a flawed substitute for legislation. They are intended to provide guidance to the government and need to work within the discretion granted the executive by existing law or the Constitution ... [T]hey are not meant to serve as an end run around the will of Congress. By design, such actions are more limited in what they can achieve than legislation, and presidents who overreach invite intervention by the courts."
Indeed, executive orders can be wiped away with a stroke of the next president's pen, as former President Barack Obama saw with his successor Donald Trump, and now Trump with Biden.
"Undoing some of Mr. Trump’s excesses is necessary, but Mr. Biden’s legacy will depend on his ability to hammer out agreements with Congress," the board wrote.
While the newspaper framed its criticism sympathetically, communications director Kate Bedingfield cried foul on Twitter.

Come on man, Adolf Hitler did a Fabulous job ruling by dictate.
The party that controls the entire government is running things via executive fiat.
That’s weird.
Unless DACA is involved.
The NYT endlessly complained that President Trump was a dictator.
Well, now they got a real dictator installed in the White House.
Hope they like it when Biden has the NYT shut down for sedition.
“We love it but you’re exposing too much of our agenda too quickly.”
Fire the Congress Critters because the US now has a Dictator
President Trump didn’t have to let DACA go like that. He really should have stated that the Judicial Branch may have the right to rescind an Executive Order as unconstitutional but the black robed demigods had no right whatsoever to IMPOSE an Executive Order!
Com’on Man, we’re supposed to be on the same team!!!
E.O. Biden.
That is the way the socialists do it! A radical far left publication like the NYT should recognize that this is the only way they can govern.
E.O. Joe sounds better.
Biden can’t hammer out a bowel movement, much less agrrements between democrats and republicans.
I’m sure Trotsky felt that way once.
:: executive orders can be wiped away with a stroke of the next president’s pen ::
I believe that EOs can be nullified by a congress with balls and strong leadership.
We find Executive Order #nnnnn to be null and void as it improperly violates the separation of powers clause of the US Constitution.
Note to ANTIFA:
Chairman BiXiden is a fascist.
The congress critters can tell voters they didn’t vote for ‘that’
our own Marshall Tito
Biden acts like he has been elected the fuhrer, not president. Heil Biden!!
