1) New sanctions on Russia pass Senate 98-2, House 419-3. Seeing veto-proof supermajorities, POTUS signs. 2) Executive branch doesn’t implement. 3) Everyone who’s been outspokenly critical for years about presidential fiat flips out. Wait, 1 & 2 happened, but 3 didn’t? Weird. https://twitter.com/eschor/status/958110759489294336 …

The executive branch does not claim it lacks the resources to implement the legally mandated sanctions. It says it's not going to do it because the threat creates a deterrent, so implementing is unnecessary.

Even if evidence showed threatening sanctions did everything implementing was supposed to do--and it doesn't--that's not what the law says
@AviWoolf,@bernybelvedere,@RadioFreeTom, anyone else, am I missing something? Or does this violate core constitutionalist principles? (END)Show this thread
