[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Trump admin has brilliant lawyers working for them to make this operation as legal as possible. And how hard is it to establish a "Special Assistant to the President" position and put him on nominal salary? Not hard. This kind of thing is done in my state's government all the time. Some industry stooge is suddenly a "Special Assistant to the Governor." [/quote]

That doesn't give either of them the authority ot break the law.[/quote]

Everyone seems to be willfully missing the point. It is foolish to imagine that
A. An enemy is not (at least partially) comprised of brilliant individuals
and
B. An enemy cannot find clever ways to operate within the confines of applicable law.

The power of the law rests entirely on the power to apply the law. There are endless laws that aren't really enforced because no one wants to bother enforcing them or it's not politically convenient to enforce them. Then there are laws that are utilized to be used in areas it never was really meant to serve but it works because the power to enforce it is there. Some of the Trump prosecutions in New York rested on this approach, which caused even legal analysts at CNN and MSNBC News to be hesitant about how novel it was. Just look at how the judge in the Trump trial directed the jury to find him guilty by setting the terminology that kinda made the jury to find him guilty, and then in the sentencing effectively cancelled everything despite a guilty verdict. Because he knew he'd lost the power when a much larger and serious jury found Trump innocent, aka the American electorate. It's all about the power to enforce the law and the mandate behind that power.

Right now the Democrats don't have the power to enforce what laws may exist to slow down some of the EOs without trying to go through the courts, but the courts also have to find leverage to enforce their ruling, if they agree with the people bringing forward the suits. People know the Trump administration will fight back and escalate to a court that finds in their favor until it ends at the SCOTUS. Clutching on to the "law" as if it was a final arbitrator beyond reproach is missing entirely how laws operate. People may find out that the "law" may not agree with them because the ultimate court in America may rule differently. But I suspect that still wouldn't change their feelings on the lawfulness of the behavior.
