Executive orders are not the law. They act as official instructions from the president telling federal workers and agencies how to handle their duties.
Executive orders cannot create new taxes, change laws, or step past the power of Congress.
The president lacks any authority to run elections. The Constitution gives only states and Congress the power to set election rules.
But none of that is going to stop them.
Postmaster General David Steiner told Congress in June that the Postal Service, under the proposed rule, would refuse to deliver ballots in states that refuse to enforce the new changes.
"Yes or no -- if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule?" Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., asked.
"Under our proposed regulation, no. We would tell the state that we need the manifest," Steiner replied.
What tells me how in the bag SCOTUS is is when Trump demands they rule on these cases and they do.
Everyone else waits years for legal processes to work out and only get SCOTUS consideration if it's a major legal question or consequence.
Trump just does illegal, unconstitutional stuff them demands SCOTUS rubber stamp it as "legal."
The Roberts has the gall to whine when they do so for him and are rightfully called out as being partisan actors.
