But enforcement is and he has discretionary power.
This is the kind of thing I voted against.

quote:Well then government would need to expand to levels that are impossible to support financially and practically. We add laws and regulations, but rarely take them away. I like that Trump wants regulations to be eliminated, but still, full enforcement of the laws on the books, dating back hundreds of years would require considerably greater resources than what is even possible.
This is the kind of thing I vited against.
Furthermore, this also requires them to ignore the evidence regarding the enforcement or a policy, again decades even centuries after they have passed. I don't find that acceptable, especially since the resources are finite, so discretion is not only allowed, it's necessary.
And in Sessions case, Congress specifically denied funding for a specific function, so rather than focusing on the functions of his authority and the corresponding resources, he advocated against that so he could use resources to expand his authority.
So this stance is not only impractical, it requires continued government ignorance. AND Sessions' positions make it clear it's also about power than law alone.
