text: Isn't the legality of DACA a question for the courts? When Obama was president, the Cons I knew  back east lived in terror of Obama's executive orders. Now that you Cons control the WH--sort of, sometimes (hah!)--executive orders are no cause for dismay though, right? 
  
  If you thought that Obama's decrees usurped the power of Congress and weakened democracy, to be logically consistent you have to see Trump's decrees in the same way.  
  
  Now, Cons assume that DACA broke the law, when, in fact, this remains to be seen. Be careful that you don't mistake Trump's use of power for law or democratic process. That is a sinister path to take.
