Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, George Fishman and Julie
Axelron, on whether Donald Trump regrets slow-walking the
rescission of the extra-legal OPT program: <URL:

| We didn't just fall off the proverbial turnip truck. One of us

| unapologetically, so contemptuously, and so openly subvert
| Congress's will as did the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
| with regard to its expansion of the Optional Practical Training
| (OPT) employment program for supposed foreign students. And this is
| not a partisan matter; while George worked for Republicans in
| Congress, it was the George W. Bush administration that did the
| deed. And while the Obama administration repeated the affront, it at
| least had the decency to obfuscate its motives and publicly honor
| the Constitution's separation of powers. The Bush administration,
| not so much. It acted with clear contempt for Congress. If there is
| ever a Schoolhouse Rock 2.0, this sorry episode should be the
| screenplay for "How a Bill Becomes a Law, and Is then Gored".
