Actually, it's not illegal.

An Executive Order has impact **only** to direct the parts of the Executive
Branch of the gov't to do things.  Laws can **only** come from the Legislature.
 And only laws can have penalties for not obeying them.

If Sleepy Joe writes an Executive Order that says "the people can't buy or sell
flourescent bulbs", it's not illegal to ignore that and continue to buy and
sell.  There's no law.  There's no penalty.

Now, he can write an Executive Order to say that all gov't agencies must get
rid of their flourescent bulbs.  That would be legal.  But that's the limit of
an Executive Order.

We went through all this mess in Michigan where our Tyrant er... "governor",
thought that she could bypass the Legislature by using Executive Orders.  The
Sheriffs put an end to that idea quickly.  And the courts have been ruling in
favor of the people, and against the Tyrant's "novel ideas".

One of the problems today is that the Elitists have pushed more and more
authority into the Bureaucracy.  (Remember the "We have to pass the bill to
know what's in it."?)  The Bureaucracy is part of the Executive Branch.  That
makes all that authority pushed there null and void since the Constitution
makes it clear what branch can do what and there's nothing that says that the
Legislature can cede power to a different branch.

 AT> Congress won't intervene. They are all worthless.

True dat.
