I don’t get it. When Repubs get in these practices are not redesigned to be compliant with the Constitution and a little thing called due process. I mean, when you’re elected, this is “first day executive order” stuff. With a simple stroke of the pen, you’d have NOTHING happen like this without due process. A very simple order from the top - only thing is instead of enlarging gov’t power it would be putting it back in it’s Constitutional place.
The only time “executive authority” is appropriate is when it comes to the ultimate safety of the nation, for example, when a billion people want to annihilate the nation. Yes, in that case you can keep genocidal maniacs at gitmo, that’s is appropriate.
