CNN’s Honig: What Trump Is Doing Is Not Unconstitutional, ‘Where We Cross a Line Is If He Starts Defying the Courts’

‘Donald Trump has taken a conscious legal strategy of, I‘m going to do what I want, maybe I‘ll lose in the courts’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HONIG: “Look, the strategy that Donald Trump has used here so far is he's going to do what he wants first, and then he's going to make plaintiffs, he's going to make state attorneys general, he's going to make private citizens go sue him in court. If they want to stop him from doing what he wants, they have to make him. So that's definitely been a strategy by the president, but that's not unconstitutional. Where it crosses a line is if that happens, he goes into court and the court says, you're not allowed to do this executive branch, or I'm putting it on hold, I'm putting an injunction, and then if the president or the executive branch defies that, that's where we get into real trouble here. So for sure, Donald Trump has taken a conscious legal strategy of, I'm going to do what I want, maybe I'll lose in the courts, that's fine, I mean, I think there's problems in that, but that's not unconstitutional. Where we cross the line is if he starts defying the courts.”
