Trump the law giver

It's a long standing norm. Nothing to see here.
"I can do anything I want. And if it's illegal I can just say no it's not, just ask me"
"I can do anything I want. And if it's illegal I can just say no it's not, just ask me"
“The opinion on what the law is.” This might be the dumbest fvcking thing I’ve ever heard. I’ll be interested what the Supreme Court thinks of this.
It’s weird to me that people claimed Biden did stuff like this and complained about it like crazy.
Trump is actually doing it and none of those people care.
If Trump could just fire the Supreme Court and name himself Ultimate Law Maker he would.
Oops better not give him and Elon that idea
We should build them a big beautiful court room. King Trump in his golden guilded chair and red velvet cushions. That would MAGA
Yeah, but he's just using supreme power to keep bathrooms safe, and to stop all the DEI that is ruining America. He'll never use it against me.
Soooooo….Marbury v. Madison just gets pushed aside, eh? Sweet!
They won't ever get a Constitutional Crisis though because the only people who should be trying to call him on this evidently think this is just perfectly fine.
Well, you seem to support getting rid of judicial review, which is what this announcement is by them. That only they get to decide what is and isn’t legal.
You’d have to really hate the constitution and our form of government to agree with this dumb shit.
Through the other branch - Congress.
You don't understand the concept of checks and balances, do you?
Impeach a judge
Lobby Congress to cut judicial funding
Appeal to higher courts
But cool you want to get rid of hundreds of years of judicial review all to further empower a convicted felon.
Feels a little too on the nose, even for you.
Congress needs to put a stop to Judicial overreach? How quickly can they do it as to not interfere with the Executive’s legal authority and prerogative?
I don’t want him or anyone else to do this. Is that what the executive order does or is it being twisted and exaggerated?
“The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties,” the order states.
Yes. The Executives legal authory and prerogative is always under the review of Congress and the Judiciary. Are you suggesting the President gets to do what they want in the name of speed?
How quickly can a rouge President become a dictator if the other two branches don't intervene?
You're a rube among rubes.
With respect to the Executive branch.
Why does this even need to be stated?
And why do Federal Judges think they can just contradict lawful acts of the Executive branch if they don’t like what is being done?
Because they are not lawful acts. And the Judicial branch determines what is lawful.
You're terrible at this.
You could at least try to understand the problem and the issue before you dismiss it.
Courts say what the law is. Work your way through it. If Trump says the law requires this and a Court says it does not, I hope you can grasp the problem that creates for every federal employee and American.
Or you can read this:
Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
Marbury v. Madison: Congress does not have the power to pass laws that override the Constitution, such as by expanding the scope of the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction.

That's the entire point of judicial review genius. if POTUS or Congress could unilaterally decide what's legal and what's not, you've just decided the Judicial branch of the government has no power.
Based on that short statement it didn't have anything to do with what the president could do, it had to do with the president and AG being the only ones who could serve as spokespeople for what the law is.
It seems like a stupid executive order. Anyone can state an opinion of what they think the law is, and the court decides whether they're right or not.
Of course that was just a sound byte, we don't know what that EO actually is...
I'm sure it's sinister though right?
Holy shit. WTF do you think Trump has been doing?
He pardons Adams. Adams then gets more slam dunk charges pressed against him by Trump appointed prosecutors. Trump then tells the prosecutors to not do their jobs they took an oath to do. Then you pretend you don’t like people in power contradicting lawful acts because they don’t like what’s being done.

He is waiting for a tweet from DOGE with uninformed snark before he is able to celebrate the EO.
Not through executive orders.
Trump could get anything he wants passed very quickly, he controls both houses.
The fact he is completely ignoring congress is a bug and not a feature.
He’s doubling down on what he failed to learn last time…being POTUS is not close to the same thing as being CEO of a company.
What decisions by the judicial branch have been inappropriate?
