On one hand, this is unconstitutional and has no legal ground.

On the other, everything Trump does is unconstitutional and has no legal ground.

The American Revolution had no legal ground. Mainstream liberals are so obsessed with worshiping hegemonic power that they forget where and how that hegemonic power is founded upon.

In the end, legality and illegality is defined by the person with the most ability to back up their arguments, in the many ways that arguments can be backed.
