One word comes to mind. DictatorDonald Trump has violated laws! This is a fact. The president doesn't get to break laws. The president isn't all-powerful. The president shares his power with two other branches of government and he is responsible for following their commands. Trump has violated at least 3 laws.
"The 1883 Pendleton Act, establishing the federal civil service, is a law. The 1979 Department of Education Organization Act, establishing the titular agency, is a law. The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, which established U.S.A.I.D. as its own agency, is a law."

The Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1883, also known as the Civil Service Reform Act, established the United States Civil Service Commission. The law required that government jobs be awarded on the basis of merit through open competitive exams, rather than ties to political parties. It made it illegal to fire or demote government officials for political reasons. The Act helped dismantle the spoils system and marked the beginning of the professional civil service in the United States federal government.

The U.S. established a Department of Education first in 1867. This original department, however, was not a cabinet level agency, and within a few years was replaced with a bureau and then an office.
On October 17, 1979 President James E. Carter signed the Department of Education Organization Act (P.L. 96-88; 93 Stat. 668). It replaced the Office of Education with a department proper, and installed a secretary at its head.
What is an executive order? How much power do they hold over the federal government?
An executive order is a written directive from the president ordering the executive branch to take action to implement and follow existing laws. The president is granted this power under Article II of the Constitution, which obliges the president to ensure that “laws are faithfully executed.” Executive orders can be an effective way to carry out programs and policy while staying within the rule of law, but they are subject to judicial review and interpretation. The courts can strike down executive orders on the grounds the president lacked authority to issue them but if the order is found to be unconstitutional in substance, according to the Federal Judicial Center.
"Courts may strike down executive orders not only on the grounds that the president lacked authority to issue them but also in cases where the order is found to be unconstitutional in substance."

Includes landmark legislation, congressional committees, appropriations, administrative agencies, court officers and staff…www.fjc.gov
The president CANNOT undo a law. Executive orders are not law. You right-wingers sang that tune when Obama was issuing executive orders because the white Republican congress refused to work with him. So Trump is acting illegally and no amount of right-wing blubbering changes the law.

I am, indeed, White.
I am, indeed, Racist - insofar as I care more for my race that I do yours, but that is mere instinct and human nature, and not bad.
However, unlike you, I do not seek to hinder your race, and I am in favor of you having the same opportunities that I do.
However, unlike you, I have spent decades in both the nonprofit and government sectors in support of underserved populations.
I probably have much better credentials with respect to social services and leveling the playing field than you ever will have.
I just like phukking with race-baiting Race-Card-Playing self-appointed racial-savior-activists like you when you bash Whites.
As to being a "bastard"... well... I know who my father was... and he actually married (and stayed married) to Mom... sorry...
Not if you were carried away en masse from your tribal lands and packed into wooden ships by Spaniards and Portuguese and Dutch and English and shipped thousands of miles across oceans into generations of slavery, only to fail to pull yourselves together more than a century-and-a-half after being let-go... a perpetual whining victim class slowing learning to shed the huge chip on your shoulders.
I haven't got one... I'm merely trying to tell you that you don't have one either once you let go of your victim mentality.
Ever heard the phrase "Donor Exhaustion"? Something roughly-akin to that is happening to American Whites after decades and generations of tolerating government-supplied equalizing measures... enough is enough... time for you to stop whining about it.
Not whining at all... I mean... after all... EVERY month is White History Month...

"...we can say that President Trump’s order overturning birthright citizenship is, according to the plain text of the 14th Amendment, unconstitutional."
Anyone making such a statement is obviously either a liar or basically illiterate. The operative language is,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States..."
The reading of the text by the quoted writer ignores the italicized words. It doesn't refute them, it doesn't explain them, it just ignores them. Nice, eh?
THis is lawyer bulllshit, now adopted universally by the political Left. When something is eminently debatable, declare that it is settled, indisputable, or most often, obvious.
The Left sucks and it is evil.

Absolute ^ nonsense. So, naturally, IQ2 wallows in it.Donald Trump believes he is above the law. And people excuse and support this.
Trump Has Gone From Unconstitutional to Anti-Constitutional
Most of us know what it means for something to be unconstitutional. An unconstitutional act is one that violates some aspect of the Constitution as understood by the courts, although the public and its representatives are also free to make claims about the constitutionality of one act or another.
The courts have said, among other things, that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional; that unequal representation in state legislatures is unconstitutional; and that laws banning same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. Moving to the present, we can say that President Trump’s order overturning birthright citizenship is, according to the plain text of the 14th Amendment, unconstitutional. There is also a strong argument that the president’s effort to remove transgender people from military service is, as a court ruled Tuesday night, unconstitutional.
You get the picture.
But there are other ways to evaluate the actions of a government. You can ask a somewhat different question: not whether an action is constitutional, but whether it sits opposed to constitutionalism itself. You can ask, in other words, whether it is anti-constitutional.
The project of constitutionalism, the historian Henry Steele Commager wrote, is the project of “government under law, by law, through law, in conformity with law.” It is, to borrow from John Locke, “to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it.” And in the American political tradition, it is the central principle that “governments are not omnipotent” but of “only limited authority.”
An anti-constitutional act is one that rejects the basic premises of constitutionalism. It rejects the premise that sovereignty lies with the people, that ours is a government of limited and enumerated powers and that the officers of that government are bound by law.
The new president has, in just the first two months of his second term, performed a number of illegal and unconstitutional acts. But the defining attribute of his administration thus far is its anti-constitutional orientation. Both of its most aggressive and far-reaching efforts — the impoundment of billions of dollars in congressionally authorized spending and the attempt to realize the president’s promise of mass deportation — rest on fundamentally anti-constitutional assertions of executive authority.
