[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2644879, member: 18225"] It's a funny thing about google or whatever engine you choose - it curates what it shows you partially by what you search. I don't know what your browser is, but hit 'private browsing', or the equivalent - now your browser isn't showing you what it thinks you want to see, but an actual spread of what you asked for, ranked simply by numerical equivalence and not by 'likes' or whatever. Rant over. I agree with you, I got a little off-field. I stand by my initial post - each branch of our government is, by definition, a check against the other branches. I agree with your assessment of the legislature - they wouldn't last at UPS, where results matter. But it's not enough for the executive to say, 'It's important, believe us'. That's not how things work, and in this case, Trump and his team simply didn't have a case. Now, if they changed the EO, we might be having a different conversation. But, like so many things about this nascent Presidency, they seem to like to shoot first, and aiming seems to only happen when they're questioned. [/QUOTE]
