If a simple executive order has this many effect, imagine what would have happened if Do Nothing Republicans had gotten off their ass just once and passed a law.
I know no one here likes Vivek, but credit where credit is due: he is the one who pointed out that a lot of this crap is not based on law, but on executive order, and that it thus can be revoked by executive order.
Yep. Historically speaking, when you give the government an inch, they take a mile.
I imagine most citizens loved the Sedition Act to fight those “foreign spies”…when instead all they did was allow the government to openly circumvent the first amendment.
Granted it only happened over. 2 year period. But 2 years is a lot of time to prosecute and tuck away whistleblowers and political opponents. Not to mention it paved the way for the Patriot Act as well

Last time they did that you got the patriot act, at best they should only pass what Trump or RFK Jr in terms of health says to pass.
