This caught my eye:
The Supreme Court held today that President Obama’s DACA program is clearly illegal. That should have been the end of the inquiry. If a president can’t undo the illegal acts of his predecessor, that can lead only to ever-expanding executive power.https://t.co/yCpa4mUdRe

Let me repeat the operative part: “can lead only to ever-expanding Executive Power.
Let me translate the operative part: we have passed from being governed by an elected President to an elected King whose Executive Orders Royal Decrees will last forever.
And the Supreme Court, seeing something that has been enacted by fiat that even Obama, while President, said was illegal to do, also saw that it was illegal, has made it most likely permanent. Yes, the Administrative Procedures Act, but when a Court and the highest Judges in the land can’t bring themselves to toss it because the President unilaterally put DACA into place without possessing the Constitutional Power to do so, we’re lost.
The Left has been FOR this illegal program since it was put into place and has resisted any efforts to unwind it even as E.O. only last as long as that Administration lasts. Most of the GOP has sat on their hands during this fight. One wonders if the GOP can muster the cojones to do the same as the Pelosi/Schumer / Left Gang of millions if Trump decided “OK, the Left has set the New Rules – I Shall Play By Them” and start issuing decrees Executive Orders by the dozens each day at least until November.
Because from where I sit, we no longer need a Congress to make Law.
