For fuck's sake, it was created by an act of Congress. This should be a no-brainer. Either the president's job is to execute on the law as determined by Congress, not to just overrule it by fiat, or we have a king.
It doesn't matter. The judicial cannot enforce anything. They don't have the power
It's always been the weakness of the constitution. Only the honor system has kept us a country
The rights and freedoms of Americans has always been a gentleman's agreement, and they've run out of gentlemen.
Yep. We need to do better next time.
I really, really hope there's a "next time" to do better in, but at the moment I'm not particularly confident there will be.
We're pretty thoroughly fucked.
Let's stand together, brother or sister, and we can make one.
Well....
Wweeelllllllllllll....
It’s nudity. The king is naked
The word you are looking for is more like dictator.
It's not that it is wrong, but it is a bit fuzzy. Because Kings haven't had dictatorial powers in western countries for centuries, and modern Kings are generally NOT above the law, and are often an integral part of well functioning democracies in modern societies.
Denmark Norway and Sweden are all kingdoms, and are among the highest functioning democracies in the world.
