    Trump is playing with fire by saying that.

        If we take it logical extreme, he might as well be asking for a lawless country.

          Maybe you missed it, but he has declared complete lawlessness for himself and his cronies.

          He’s not asking, he has already declared it.

            I know what he meant. That’s why I said, “if we take to it’s logical extreme.”

                Okay, fine. Here’s a question. If he says a verbal court order isn’t enforceable, why should we follow SCOTUS’ or any lower courts? He is already dismantling systems that not only oversaw what he did, but everyone else.

                  Because the laws will be enforced if you break them, assuming you’re not rich, but not if he breaks them.
