Even NYT Editors Tell Mad King Joe To Curb His Habit Of Rule-By-Fiat

When even editors of the New York Times is telling a Democrat to lay off the government over-reach, you know something is up.

Remember this is the same crowd that had a leaked PR strategy of deliberately kneecapping the Trump Presidency and thwarting his reelection. After their nesting dolls of various ‘Russian Collusion’ narratives proved as hollow as the Mueller investigation, the NYTimes discussed their plan to pivot to running a Trump-is-racist narrative in every news cycle.

They helped drag Biden’s carcass over the finish line without any real participation by the candidate himself.

THESE are the same guys now telling ‘President Autopen’ to dial back his rule-by-executive order. It must be just a little bit too ‘on-the-nose’ even for the comfort of those clowns at the New York Times.

The New York Times editorial board is calling on President Biden to “ease up” on issuing executive actions after a slate of orders were signed in the last week.

The New York Times editorial board is calling on President Biden to “ease up” on issuing executive actions after a slate of orders were signed in the last week.

“These moves are being met with cheers by Democrats and others eager to see the legacy of Donald Trump’s presidency dismantled posthaste. Republicans, meanwhile, are grumbling about presidential overreach and accusing Mr. Biden of betraying his pledge to seek unity,” the board wrote on Wednesday.

“These directives, however, are a flawed substitute for legislation. They are intended to provide guidance to the government and need to work within the discretion granted the executive by existing law or the Constitution. They do not create new law — though executive orders carry the force of law — and they are not meant to serve as an end run around the will of Congress. By design, such actions are more limited in what they can achieve than legislation, and presidents who overreach invite intervention by the courts,” it added.

…The Times’s editors, however, said that a rush of executive orders “can set up a whipsaw effect, as each president scrambles to undo the work of his predecessor,” citing former President Obama’s creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, former President Trump’s halting of the program and Biden’s moves “to reaffirm those protections.” —The Hill

Full credit to the politcal weasels in the editorial board to at least have enough self-awareness to consider the long-term implications of this precedent.

We only wish they had given the same thought to what impact the ongoing political bastardization of the one profession given the mandate to holding those in office to account could have on the stability of the democratic process.

A monolithic uniparty busying itself with hiding the sins of the guilty, making excuses for the incompetent, and manufacturing out of whole cloth a narrative destructive to political outsiders were never conceived of in the minds of the Framers who granted you a special mention in the First Amendment.

It’s time you begin living up to your role in the body politic while we still have a country we can recognize.

If you think he has any intention of stopping at 40 Executive Orders, you haven’t learned much about the Human Condition. The sort of person who could pass 40 without batting an eye, could just as easily justify passing 400 in his own mind.

And with several convenient crisies to attribute his urgency to — be they health, racial divison, climate, or some threat of insurrection — he has all the cover he could ask for.

How easily we forget that there were several strains of tyranny that kept the Founders and Framers up at night.

Democrats and their allies are very selective in which ones they show any interest in decrying.
