But throughout our nation's history, presidents have taken actions that were certain to be challenged in court, including all of the New Deal legislation (when the Supreme Court was hostile to FDR). The crisis at USPS due to a corrupt Postmaster General requires aggressive action by the President. DeJoy is an unrepentant supporter of fascist Donald Trump. Congress can put political pressure on the President to act. That's why I urge everyone to contact their representatives and demand that DeJoy be removed.
