Biden faces scrutiny over reliance on executive orders

I hate executive actions in general but they've just been getting worse for the last 20 years or so.  It's a convenient way to absolve the legislature of having to do anything (if all on the same team) or the executive of having to actually work with them (if they are not).   They also allow for substantial changes to occur without debate (or scrutiny if the media is feeling particularly lazy).  The more we use them, the more it sets us up for a rotating dictatorship every 4-8 years.

Partisanship has made it impossible to actually do much of anything most of the time.  If anything, it's even worse now than it was 10 years ago. Don't expect much if anything, unless the filibuster is crushed. Even then, the Dems are limited by Joe Manchin.  That could change if DJT actually creates a rival right-wing party.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
