the President seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law.
The chilling effect of this executive order, 14230, threatens to significantly undermine the integrity of our entire legal system.

His attempt to do so here is blatantly illegal, and his constitutional arguments to excuse this illegal act are contrary to Supreme Court precedent and over a century of practice.
