You said the government could do anything it wanted unless specifically denied. These things are not denied so you must think Trump had the constitutional power to enact these orders.
That was your position, not mine.

You are the one who said government could do anything unless prohibited. Are you changing your position? These were major issues during the Trump presidency--hardly petty.

Anything LEGAL. Seriously, you needed me to make that explicit?!

What determines if it is legal?
If Congress is not given the constitutional power to, for example, create a health care system, then it is not legal because they don't have authority to do it.
This is a very different position than you stated earlier. If Congress can do whatever it wants unless prohibited it is determining what is legal when it passes a law. If it must have constitutional power to pass that law then the Constitution determines what is legal.

Absolutely false. No constitutional scholar would agree with you.

so every gun control law is unconstitutional, based upon 'shall not be infringed'.............right?
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

if 99% of the population believed that the moon was made of blue cheese, does that make it reality?

You're not my 6th grade history teacher. Cut the crap, I don't have time for trolls like you.

not surprised. most of you liberals tend to run away from obvious facts............you said that you view 'is quite conventional and the standard understanding of the Constitution', but does that mean because a majority of you believe something, makes it true?
