Does anyone else recall the fairly recent uproar, indignation, and outright condemnation regarding Executive Orders, the furrowed brows, the scowls, and the wagging, warning fingers over 'imperial presidency' and the shameful arrogation of power? I sometimes wonder if those who so decried are in any fear of their heads twisting off from having to turn back and forth, along with their views, so rapidly; perhaps they, like Regan in "The Exorcist", are are equipped with easily swiveling heads...
