“Of all the unprecedented actions, these might carry the most sweeping consequences — not just now, but for future presidents.”

“The new precedent is being set in real time: The only real limit on Trump appears to be Trump himself. Neither the conservative Supreme Court nor the GOP-led Congress has shown much interest in limiting this executive.”
