    The president has the explicit authority to direct the DOJ to enforce laws

    He can order them to detain Thomas in Gitmo.

    And it would be 100% legit thanks to recent rulings.

    Or…

    Biden can just not do shit because he personally doesn’t think he should be allowed to

    We need a president willing to use every tool at their disposal to stop fascism, not one that’s fine with loosing as long as they tried their “goodest”

      Too busy trying to not rock the boat meanwhile other people are actively punching holes in it

      This won’t lead to a ratcheting effect of political warfare internally at all.

      Do you honestly think Biden is fully aware of and capable of using his newly decided powers? I don’t.

      Hell, would you trust Biden to drive your car home for you after it gets dark outside?

        To put it bluntly, if I were as old as he is, I would just start ordering things to happen, because ultimately the worst that happens is the people say no, put me in a cushy federal resort prison for a couple years, and I’m dead.

        I trust plenty of people with physical limitations to do mental things, but not physical things.

        “your president won’t even order the murder of citizens without a trial, what a huge fucking coward he is for not taking the easy road”

        This is what you sound like to people residing in reality.
