I already said I'm not a lawyer. My perspective and opinion aren't relevant.

You don't have to be a lawyer to have perspective or opinion on the law. It just means you're probably less technically educated than most lawyers.

While it's true that a perspective and opinion can be made by me, it's in no way tied to the reality of how the courts will view it, which is all that matters, which is why I want an informed perspective and opinion, from the domain of law. A good example for the value of people's opinions vs how something is interpreted is Roe vs Wade.

If you have an informed reference that helped you achieve such clarity, I'm very interested. Unfortunately, my armchair has a broken leg, so I'm unable to use it at the moment. And, search engines are completely failing me.

that's a little self-flagellatory. I don't think it takes a whole lot of legal education to recognize that what is happening is not legal.

most lawyers aren't constitutional scholars either. do you really think an expertise in personal injury law in Rhode Island makes one more qualified to recognize that an unelected billionaire shutting down organizations without any Congressional approval or appointment is illegal?
