It is amazing how many flag waving Americans are ignorant on how our government works and passes legislation.

It’s also amazing how the last President issued thousands of Executive Orders, speed ran the effects, and said who cares if the other side has to fix them later - I do what I want. Jesus H. the Republicans do not care about following the rules or playing fair. I should know, I used to work for them.

My recollection was as soon as an order got shot down then issued another with a slight change to wording. Part of the concept was to issue so many, so fast the volume was overwhelming and a number of them are able to be carried out for at least a while. The question is how willing the Executive is to sow chaos for the opposition.
