alt Hacker NewsWhat is it that you think this EO says? The first Trump administration went all the way to the Supreme Court to establish that he could coerce ALJs. There are already extensive internal checks on FTC, SEC, and FCC --- places where to exercise independent power those agencies still need the cooperation of DOJ.
There's a clear norms violation happening here, but I don't see the power grab everybody else is seeing. These are powers the Presidency already had.

The terrifying thin i learned recently is that norms are how laws work.
This i learned from a discussion between a magistrate and legal scholar.
This means that a norm violation, practically speaking, is a law violation. Which i guess is a crime. But that has to go to the courts to be judged.
Uncommon tptacek L. "extensive internal checks" that's laughable given what's been going on lately with the executive overreach.
> These are powers the Presidency already had.
Then what, in your mind, is the purpose of this EO?
