      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.
