“Have we crossed the Rubicon yet?”
The Supreme Court has established that the President is not personally bound by laws when taking actions as President.
That immunity has manifested itself as a President funding the military forces through his directive, rather than through appropriations from Congress. Doing so is in direct violation of both Article I* of the US Constitution and the Congressionally passed Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. § 1341). I repeat, the military owes its wages to the will of the President and not the laws under the Constitution.
The immigration enforcement facilities have been refusing access to Congressional oversight visits. The forces abducting people off of the streets of the United States of America are not bound by nor loyal to the Congress and its laws.
I wrote at the beginning of the year that we should all be very concerned if the immigration enforcement efforts were not applied in good faith, and asserted I that they would not be. That has been proven true.
