It basically sets the precident that the President can pick and choose what laws are worth following and enforcing... because well, that's exactly what he is doing. It is the president's and DOJ duty to defend EVERY law on the books, even ones that they completely disagree with, and don't even believe are constiutional. Just how every criminal even those you think are guilty deserve a fair and honest defense. |
The executive branch has been doing this for years, whether or not they specifically ignore certain laws or are merely more lax on enforcement of certain types of laws (some financial regulations in Republican administrations, for instance)
On topic: how was this law constitutional in the first place? Weren't Republicans trying to push for a constitutional amendment on this five years back or so?
