Re: Arbitrary Presidential Enforement of Laws
Interesting discussion on this topic at http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=138676 ... some of the postings:
“it’s an understanding between the branches with regard to the separation of powers: the legislature passes the laws, the courts interpret the laws, and the executive is bound to enforce them (whether they want to or not). this understanding, combined with the president and legislature’s oath to uphold the constitution, binds the executive and legislative branches to enforce the rulings of the supreme court. and throughout american history, there have been numerous examples of govermental branches either defying or threatening to defy the supreme court’s rulings.”
“It’s the Executive Branch’s job to send in the National Guard to enforce Supreme Court decisions.”
... right, I can really see Zero doing this ... ha, ha
Zero will send in the national guard after he suspends civil liberties and free elections ... it is coming
Zero thinks it’s all about him. And unfortunately, he has a number of useful idiots, weaklings and ideologues around him who support this delusion.
Even more unfortunately, it seems to be working.
