You win the moron of the year award with this piece of 💩. Honorable judges are the last chance this country has to maintain its democracy in the face of Trump’s outrageous illegal conduct. You are certifiably insane

How about instead of baseless insults, you explain to me where I am wrong. You cannot because I am not. Not even Democrats would have laughed at these judges before TDS kicked in.

And, the notion that ONE unelected "judge" should be able to overrule the elected President as to how he RUNS THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH is an absurdity. Don't think they should be able to issue injunctions over things like "birthright citizenship" either, but that is at least colorable.

The problem is that Trump is not just ‘running the executive branch’ , he is breaking laws that govern the executive branch and encroaching on things that are in the purview of the executive branch. He is acting like a king but our laws do not allow the chief executive to act as a king

There's NO SUCH thing as "laws that govern the executive branch." If you actually read the article, you'll see that this is settled law.

It is hard to take people who say "he's acting like a King" seriously because it is so absurd. He is doing precisely what EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT has done and it is not remotely Kinglike.

You are clearly not a lawyer and have no idea what you’re talking about. Of course there are laws applicable to how the executive branch agencies are run. What, you think the President can just do what he wants.?😂At the center of the current challenges to Trump’s EOs is the question of whether the president's actions are directing federal agencies to violate a key standard established nearly 80 years ago in a law known as the Administrative Procedure Act.

Graduated law school in 1997. Again, you are wrong. You say "of course" but that is not true. Meyers v. US (1926) established the law. Even LEFTWING Wikipedia acknowledges this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers_v._United_States

If Congress can create agencies and then tell the President how to run them, then the Executive Branch is no an EQUAL branch.

I'm sorry the Democrats brainwashed you. As stated in the article, this is NOT controversial until recently.

In 1935, in Humphrey's Executor v. United States, the Supreme Court distinguished Myers and disavowed its dicta. Humphrey's distinguished executive officers from officers occupying "quasi-legislative" or "quasi-judicial" positions. The majority opinion stated that:The Myers case dealt with the removal of a postmaster, an executive officer restricted to executive functions and charged with no duty at all related to either the legislative or the judicial power. The actual decision in the Myers case finds support in the theory that such an officer is merely one of the units in the executive department, and, hence, inherently subject to the exclusive and illimitable power of removal by the Chief Executive, whose subordinate he is. That decision goes no farther than to include purely executive officers.

Congress allocates funds to run the agencies. President cannot unilaterally decide he doesn’t agree with the use of these allocated funds. Sorry you’re such a fascist

Your law school called and they want their JD back. I graduated UCLA law school and have not had my mind twisted like yours clearly has been. Go away, you’re awful

Do you understand anything about the constitution and separation of powers?

It is sad to see comments like hers. If she truly did go to law school, she likely has TDS. Thus, ANYTHING Trump does must be wrong regardless of basic logic.

* I meant ‘encroaching on things that are in the purview of the legislative branch’.
