19. Maybe constitutional scholars -- at the Rutherford Institute or Jerry F's
newly probational law school. Up to now, it's theoretical. There is no constitutional precedent that directly permits this kind of executive overreach. * can't get around the fact of three distinct branches of government that must co-exist as it is written in the Constitution and the interpretation of cases related to "who does what and when". If new constitutional cases allow the lines to be crossed (save for amending the original Articles), that's the beginning of the end of our experiment in constitutional democracy.
