    Also, why the fuck is NOT enforcing the law allowed? It’s the fucking law. You make the laws, either enforce them or change them.

    So the Executive Branch famously DOESN’T make laws. That’s what the Legislative Branch does.

    The Executive Branch enforces laws but they also have discretion to not enforce them. Ever had a cop give you a warning instead of a ticket? That’s the same thing. Discretion is used millions of times every day to decide not to enforce various laws. There are also a ton of local laws on the books that are ridiculous and simply ignored by law enforcement.
