    They even made us memorize this one in grade school:

    1. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Note that this says nothing about having to be a citizen for this to apply to you, either. And while we’re at it, see also this.

      Well you see, congress isn’t making a law, the executive branch is just doing blatantly illegal shit with impunity, because congress is full of spineless coward sellouts

        They are just imagining they will wield that power someday so they don’t want to rock the boat.

        They are all temporarily embarrassed ruling party. Otherwise they would want to remove or restrict these powers. This did not happen overnight either.

        We have known for several decades now the extreme problems with executive overreach. The President should be a figured head only and Congress should increase in size and do its job.

        This is blatant corruption and a dereliction of their duty. It really is disgusting to see how little regard these jokers have for their positions. Electing a literal carnival barker and giving his team of racist rejects the keys to the country is mind bogglingly stupid.
