Trump ends federal contractor civil rights order with roots that go back to FDR
I don't really have words for this...
Wait, so just coasting along indefinitely on court rulings and executive orders isn't enough and you should actually legislate the rules you consider fundamental?
Well, they're not interested in the rule of law and believe themselves untouchable. They've curried immense favor with the paramilitaries by pardoning the J6 traitors and now have their own personal army.
They may not need legislation.
It starting to turn into Calvinball.
Yea this is the crux of the whole fucking situation. And the paramilitaries are filled with shitty cops... as I just read in a recent mole dump.
This is a message about our complacency in just assuming matters are settled and thus don't need to become legislation. If the thing Trump was undoing was a law he'd have to either pass a new law or outright defy it. Neither would necessarily stop him, but it would provide a shock to the people who think anything that's an EO is the current president's prerogative and thus this is the system working as intended. Undoing an EO can be done without any outside support from vulnerable senators and buried in a flood of news stories like this one was, yielding little political cost to the president. We want stuff like this to cost as much as possible.
This isn't to say don't use an EO if legislation isn't feasible, but oftentimes having a public fight to formally establish what the general public already believes is how things should work is a good opportunity to paint your opponents as outside the mainstream.
sure, but make no mistake, they arent going to stop at executive orders and court rulings.
