...official duties and all of that invention of theirs.

I think it reinforces the consensus among most Americans that this president isn't respecting the laws he's insisting everyone else follow, as he take hijacks our manpower and resources for his costly imperialistic wars of choice.

That's not just people talking, not this close to the midterms in which republicans are spooked silly.

But, yeah, lawsuits relating to his presidential prerogatives are an ultimate dead end against that court's maga majority.
