The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, which advises the president on legal and constitutional issues, has repeatedly opined that the president may decline to enforce laws he believes are unconstitutional. If this is legal, then the President is free to ignore ALL laws if he "believes" (pure opinion) the law may be struck down by the USSC, if that may ever happen, now or 100 years from now. Nonsense. The President MUST enforce the laws that are in effect during his presidency without regard to their legitimacy in his mind.

Fully agree, and any President or AG who doesn't enforce existing laws are violating their oath of office.
