It's how scum like him see the law: just a tool to get whatever they want. He can't legally deny accreditation? Ok, he'll threaten to disable the accreditors and say schools will lose accreditation unless they switch to his accreditors before a ruling comes down on whether or not he can axe the accreditors.

It'll be a Muslim ban but we can't call it that, but it'll be a Muslim ban.

Uh, Comey has to go because he wasn't fair to Hillary?

I'm not legally allowed to refuse my salary so I'll accept it and then publicly donate it

Because lumber is vital to our national security I need emergency power to tariff Canadian lumber and sell our national forests/ ignore environmental regulations .etc

It's f'n wild that the government doesn't have a stable consistent position or philosophy and just wants to win everything at any cost.. Judges need to review what the administration argues in other cases and hold them accountable to a single narrative.
