    I’m not though. They’re truly different things and I promise I’m not arguing in bad faith.

    The differences I mentioned are material, especially that an executive order cannot arbitrarily criminalize something.

      i think it’s that we’re arguing from different perspectives. for most people, a law is a regulation is a procedure is an executive order. they all carry about the same weight. when you actually deal with legal specifics the differences matter but to most folk they’re cinnamon rolls.
