It’ll be difficult to get political will to go after civil servants while the political appointees are immune. And OLC memos will provide some legal cover. If Lederman, Greene, and Kovarsky think that applies to blowing up boats, it’ll go double for paying The Troops.

Don't mean to sound pedantic but just not quite sure if you are asking if there's a defense if it turns out that there is no A2 power to do this and yes I think there is, if there was really an authorizing OLC memo. At least a colorable defense.

You should read the lawyers before posting. She was not allowed by the contract to enter an agreement that required her to rent out the house. She entered no such agreement. She did rent out the house, but not through a proscribed agreement. Read popehat or Lee Kovarsky.

Holy shit you can study criminal law without being a criminal! Whoa.
If you are a law professor you should do more than anyone else now because with no Constitution, your job as you know it is over! We have already had overproduction of lawyers for DECADES. Loans for prof. school are being capped!

Univ. of Texas lawprof Lee Kovarsky called it a "blank check" for the Trump II admin: “The House version was basically setting it up so they can violate court orders with impunity, and the Senate version is making it so they can’t be subject to court orders to begin with. They’re both really bad.”
