and potentially Senate take over. The current Congress and Senate are a lay over and get their belly's rubbed and do nothing co-conspirators with this President and their party. They want it to continue. This ruling takes most power away from Congress to check the Executive. All they have is the power of the purse and subpoena now. Its a COMPLETE separation of power with no checks now and with most of it now in the Executives hands.

While I expected something to hand the Executive more CHECKED power I was not expecting full unfettered control over 90% of the federal govt in the Executives hands with no check. It's a complete violation of the principles this country was founded on. A giant earthquake was felt today as the graves of even the most conservative founders were shaking.
