re: Open Invitation: Explain How the Immigration EO is Unconstitutional

Good find. Not a religion case, but certainly an example of an attack on an EO via the first amendment.

So the question becomes whether or not the EO violates the free exercise clause or the establishment clause.

I mean, technically any EO that violates a statute is "unconstitutional." Since it's usurping powers delegated to Congress.

Only if the EO can't be saved under purely executive authority. It's the lowest category under Youngstown, but the EO can be appropriate under Article II, be in violation of a statute, and still be constitutional because the President is acting in accordance with his powers which cannot be abridged by an act of Congress.
