  1. Sometimes it feels like if Trump knows who I am and is purposefully doing the things that would piss me off personally to get a rise out of me.

    So what does the DoE do with an illegal executive order? Do they keep going to work? Do they try to operate as business as usual?

    Legal challenges will come immediately but rulings to freeze the order will take a few days. Trump will ignore those rulings like he has been. It will be a long time before there’s a court ruling and then the Supreme Court will hopefully decide to not even hear the case because the lower courts ruling is so clear.

    But what happens with everything between issuing the order and the court rulings?

  3. How are they going to ban trans girls from sports if there’s no Department of Education to enforce that interpretation of Title IX?

  4. Blatantly unconstitutional. Abolishing cabinet-level agencies by fiat is not something the President can do.

    Of course, it doesn’t matter if Congress and SCOTUS won’t stand up to him.

    DOE needs reform, not abolition. But that would that would require subtly and patience. Neither of which are Trump’s strong suits.

    “Big government, we’re not gonna do it. Alright, it’s time to end it, okay, there are so many stupid departments that frankly we don’t need. And it all starts with Education, parents they came to me, tears in their eyes begging to end the mandates. Even the great Reagan  couldn’t do it, abolish Education, such a big move, but I’ve got Betsy who’s going to do a tremendous job, abolishing.”

    Prescient.
