Well, maybe you don’t have a problem with acts of the executive branch that include lawmaking (”regulations” usually). But this is how the Left has over the last 150 gradually eroded the Constitution ALWAYS in favor of more and more federal government power.

Generally I’m against EO’s. If Trump is countermanding Obama’s EOs many of which were meant to bypass Congress, some expressly so, then that is probably OK because it is neutralizing unconstitutional federal acts committed by Obama.

What really needs to happen is the unconstitutional agencies requiring EO’s need to be cut off at the knees and all this b/s scrapped and we can get back to the feds limited to what the Constitution limits it to - basically protecting us from invasion/attack.

It is saying that these unconstitutional social programs have to go. Ramp them down when necessary but they need to be nuked. These regulatory agencies requiring most of these EO’s are there to facilitate unconstitutional federal social programs. Nuke the whole freaking thing.

I have a YUGE problem with people putting words in my mouth.

"If Trump is countermanding Obama’s EOs many of which were meant to bypass Congress, some expressly so, then that is probably OK because it is neutralizing unconstitutional federal acts committed by Obama."

"basically protecting us from invasion/attack"


Literally what Trump is trying to do. It's come to the point where even getting that done requires EOs thanks to massive corruption, malingering, and fake libertarian concern trolls.
