The problem is not Trump's emergency power its the expansion of executive power

[Associate Justice PiT]

     It would be nice if Trump's approach to governance motivated his opponents to push for a serious reduction in executive power. Instead it seems convenient to regard him as a uniquely bad actor and simply suppose things will be better once he is out of the Oval Office. I can certainly agree that Trump should not be using executive power in this fashion, but the executive should also not have the leeway to act as such to begin with.

I’m sorry, but I can’t buy this argument.

It’s like standing outside a burning house, folding your arms and saying’ “Kids have been playing with matches since the ‘90s, this is just the outcome of that.”
You want to be mad at the kids, while the house burns down.

     I would say the argument is more that the kids did something wrong by setting fire, but we should look beyond the moment and consider taking their matches away so they don't burn the house down again in the future.
