Warning, pedantic-ness ahead:<p>Both parties + press + voters have been super comfortable with the Exec branch using EOs to expand it's power (ex:Reagan,EO12333). It seems to be driven by '<i>We like it when our guy does things</i>'.<p>I counter with (or try to):<p><pre><code> Not holding a reasonable PotUS accountable
gifts power to the unreasonable one that follows.
</code></pre>
I don't think P+P+V understand this, however.<p>Most disheartening is the decades of press apathy - because holding the powerful to account it is their actual, constitutionally-protected day job.
When discussing what'll happen, it's important to remember that the Republican party as a whole is behind these new "emergency" import taxes, not just Trump as a lone actor.<p>In particular, the original IEEPA law requires that any motions to terminate the "emergency" must get voted on in ~18 days. However every House Republican moved to declare that somehow that the rest of the days this year don't count as time passing, for some reason.<p><a href="https://www.ntu.org/publications/detail/when-is-a-calendar-day-not-a-calendar-day-and-why-does-it-matter" rel="nofollow">https://www.ntu.org/publications/detail/when-is-a-calendar-d...</a>
