Historically folks have argued for and against EOs on a tally basis. I would argue the tally is irrelevant, many EOs are perfunctory, what's important is the substance of specific EOs. Regardless, the situation is now completely FUBAR. Trump EOs nullify Congress.

Quoting Robert’s is my fave.

This EO is full of errors and misstatements. And I’m being generous in my description. Conservatives have been trying to get rid of disparate impact for decades. We need every civil rights leader to condemn and oppose this EO.

"Disparate impact" is an unconstitutional abomination, blatantly illegal and racist, and only exists because of anti-white hatred and racism

I still can't get over the new fascist iconography for the White House.

That sure doesn't look anything like "tak[ing] Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

Constitution; Article 2, Section 3.

Meritocracy? Didn’t see anything about nepotism or hiring big donors. Doesn’t sound like merit to me.

If anyone needed evidence or proof that this administration is dumb this has to be it. Why revoke Title VI of CRA 1964 that prohibits of discriminatory practice if your intent is equal opportunities. Yt folks and adjacents who put this man in office seriously go to hell.

Everything about Pete hegseth just screams “MERIT!”

Fortunately, this doesn’t supersede the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

The worst part about this EO is realizing how many Americans agree with this rhetoric. As a country, is it even possible to come back from something that is so obviously racist?

so many executive orders, so little time

"equality of opportunity,"

I'd like to request the same opportunity that Donnie had

It’s all optics with him in order to fool his base into thinking he’s doing something. How many times so far in a few months?When will these lawyers tire of looking like idiots before the judge?

It would have been nice to have a POTUS who understood what words meant. Seriously he's gotta be of avg intelligence AT BEST. Seriously, we should class action this guy.
