So when a President acts through executive orders in an area that the
Constitution clearly leaves to the executive branch (prosecution of
war), that’s a nascent dictatorship. When a President acts
through EOs and tells executive-branch agencies to circumvent Congress
in areas of its jurisdiction, well, that’s just “mov[ing] the country forward.” Good to know for future reference. Thanks, Mr. Podesta!
Not only is this a work of stunning hypocrisy, it’s a dangerous piece
of political advice. Democrats had the field to themselves over the
last two years and pushed their agenda over the objections of voters
around the country. That arrogant disregard for the electorate is the
reason why House Democrats will be voting for a Minority Leader today instead of a Speaker in January.
