You know what’s a sure sign that you live in a dictatorship? The executive branch stops obeying the legislative branch.

    Or else what? What are the courts going to do about it when their orders get ignored?

    The Supreme Court has already said that anything a POTUS does in an official capacity is legal.

      Well, in a not-dictatorship, the prez voluntarily obeys court orders, and gets impeached if he dares not to. In a dictatorship, yes-men congresscritters suck up to the prez to keep their jobs.

      You decide whether we live in a not-dictatorship or in a dictatorship.

      Not that anything he does is legal, just that he can’t be held personally legally responsible for it after leaving office.

      I share your concerns, but the supreme court hasn’t said the president can do anything he wants (yet).

        Tomato, tomato.

        Rules that lack consequences for breaking them are just suggestions.
