No one is disputing that.
First of all, there's a difference between executive actions and executive orders. Second of all, the number of actions and orders ruled unconstitutional pale in comparison to the ones that didn't. Finally, this is the last I'm saying about this because it has nothing to do with my point.
See above. And then research.
Um...yes it is. If you willingly replied to me, it is most definitely incumbent upon you to understand the argument to which you reply. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
No, I'd rather you go back and actually read and understand what I said. I never said Trump was king or dictator or anything like that. I asked j-mac if, given that Trump is doing what j-mac disapproved of Obama doing, if he would call Trump the same things he said about Obama.
It's right there in black and white and anyone with an IQ in the double digits can understand it.
I haven't changed what I said once. Just because you lacked the desire to understand it the first time, that does not mean I changed my position. Again, it is on you to understand an argument before you reply to it, so you can avoid posting stupid things.
Yet more evidence you simply don't understand the conversation. I'll explain it one more time for you, but after that, you're on your own.
My contention is the blindly partisan will often excuse for one what they condemn in another. In this case, j-mac previously said Obama was worse than a king or dictator because he was issuing executive orders/actions. In this case, j-mac started a thread about Trump issuing executive orders/actions so I asked if he thought Trump was worse than a king or dictator, since that was what he said of Obama. I never once said Trump was king or dictator, despite your previous misunderstanding.
Finally, with regards to SCOTUS, my "of course" refers back to yet another thing I said, which is partisans on either side of the aisle generally tend to see EA/EO as lawful or unconstitutional based on the agenda of the partisan. In other words, I was saying someone like you, who is definitely partisan, likely feels SCOTUS gets rulings "correct" when they rule the way you want them to rule, but get it "wrong" when they don't. Because that's what partisans do, they lack objectivity.
I've now explained this in-depth to you. Despite your absurd belief it is not your job to understand an argument before you reply to it, the fact is it IS your responsibility to understand an argument before you reply to it. So, before you reply with yet another post which has nothing to do with what I've actually said, take the time to actually read and comprehend. Maybe take a full day to think about it before you reply. Because I've reached my limit for tolerating stupidity for the day.
save your moving goal posts for other people. that stuff doesn't work on me.
an executive action is a wish list of what a president would like to see done.
an executive order is what legally (or illegally) attempts to change a law.
EO are nothing more than memo's that are supposed to clear up ambiguity of how a law works.
they are not modes to change or create a new law as Obama has had to find out.
courts do not rule on executive actions as they have no legality. they do however rule on orders.
Executive Action Definition - Presidential Orders
yes you should educate yourself on the difference. an executive action carries no weight at all.
EO's do.
Your poor attempt to wiggle your way out doesn't work.
Nope you are assuming my argument and then arguing your assumption which is well a fallacy
I already stated my argument in black and white which was.
The constitution is the document that is correct. anything that deviates from that document is not correct. the job of the SCOTUS is to uphold the constitution.
therefore if they make a ruling that is I counter to what the constitution says it means that they were wrong.
your opinion is well meaningless. you don't get to assume someone's argument then thing you can argue that assumption and have it carry any weight.
yes please take time to read and comprehend what people write instead of just making stuff up. you will become better in a lot of ways.
