This is in the news today:

“BREAKING: White House releases Executive Order to end competitive selection process for Administrative Law Judges, making them political appointees who can be fired at will.”

There is a lot of talk already about how this will destroy a great part of the independent judiciary, and let a fascist boor like Trump fire judges for ruling against him. I’ll leave that issue for now, and just comment on this: Can you remember back, say, two years ago when a President using an executive order for the most minor actions was absolute proof that he was a Communist would-be dictator? Now, apparently crushing the independent judiciary without recourse is a perfectly acceptable use of Presidential power.
