Tangerine 2.0 Is Met / Opposed, At The Supremes, This Morning -- By A Veritable "Who's Who" Of Former Bush 41 AND 43, AND Reagan Era-GOP Lawyers... Opposing Him, As Amici


Not surprising, as the vast bulk of these are the "Never-Trumpers" inside the GOP -- but one, Ty Cobb, is notable: he actually served in Tangerine 1.0's maladministration -- as the goof's personal lawyer for more than three years. He opposes this nonsense, too. [He's also the great-grandson, I think, of the vicious baseball hall of famer.]

Here's a bit -- but it sings a familiar (and truly meritorious) tune: the preznit cannot act with a mere Sharpie, alone -- he needs the full Congress. And he simply hasn't gotten it:

. . .The constitutional genius of America is the establishment of three branches of government that must cooperate with each other, and check and balance each other’s actions, to govern the country. In discussing “the necessary partition of power among the several departments,” the Framers contemplated an “interior structure of the government” that would provide “the means of keeping each other in their proper places.” THE FEDERALIST NO. 51 (James Madison). They understood that the branches’ functions were not designed to be “wholly unconnected” and “should not be so far separated as to have no constitutional control over each other.” THE FEDERALIST NO. 48 (James Madison). . . .

The Constitution requires that the President “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3. If the President disagrees with the legislative choices made by Congress -- if he believes, for example, that the government is bloated, spending is out of control, or that programs and policies are poorly conceived -- under our Constitutional scheme, he may recommend to Congress corrective measures that he deems “necessary and expedient.” Id. But the President cannot take unilateral action to implement his desired measures without Congressional action. . . .


As I said, Trump is now almost 120-4, striking out -- losing/against. That's a terrible batting average, indeed. Busy-busy bees, here -- truly! Heh!
