Doesn’t this still require specific existing laws (as in actual statutes) to charge someone with violating? Or can they just charge and convict on arbitrary things they don’t like, now?
The thing with Trump is, he doesn’t care. He will do whatever he can until he’s told he can’t. So, until this gets challenged and makes its way through the courts, he will do it. So much of our system is built on “norms” that he can get away with doing things that seem like they shouldn’t be allowed. Until democrats start doing the same, they’ll keep losing for failing to do what the people want.
