Surprised this crusty old twatwaffle doesn’t just EO that he didn’t do it. Why the fuck not at this point. There are no spines in Congress or scotus, they’ll let him do it.
His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.
Well, the Department of Education is a part of the Executive Branch, so the NCAA has a financial incentive to go along with Trump’s EOs or lose funding.
I’m not saying that EOs are completely toothless, and I’m also not saying that he won’t try. I’m just saying that they can’t do absolutely anything; and specifically, they can’t directly impact the Judiciary.
Executive orders can only instruct the Executive Branch to take some sort of action. While the Department of Justice is a part of the Executive Branch, it consists of the government’s lawyers, not of the government’s judges. The judicial branch is outside the purview of the Executive Branch, and so out of reach of a Trump EO.
Now, would he still try? Of course he would. But it would have the same legal weight as Michael Scott yelling “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!”

This isn’t federal court. You can’t EO around it, then, right?
Who can stop him?
He can do it, but it won’t matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.
They are still getting followed.

Eh, “executive order,” “royal decree” – same difference, at this point!
I’m sure that he thinks so.
