arrogation

“Though the Administration has structured, and even amended, the Cancellation Program in a cynical effort to avoid judicial scrutiny of its arrogation of legislative power, those efforts should not succeed.”

That ruling was bottomed on a complete ignorance of executive branch practice and a rank arrogation to herself of the executive power.

In the best of times, such a judicial arrogation to itself of how Congress can permissibly work with the executive branch might be merely misguided.

Ruth Friedman, the director of the Federal Capital Habeas Project, who represented the first man executed by the Trump administration, called the rule a “grand arrogation of power.”

Heritage Foundation vice president James Carafano, a conservative foreign policy expert with ties to the Trump White House, said criticism of executive orders as an arrogation of power misses the point.
