‘We Need to Take Away Children,’ No Matter How Young

The bolded can be true at times.


There is indeed a sense in which executive orders can, in some circumstances, have the force of law without being law. 

E.g., If a president decides (via executive order) to withhold federal funding from public schools that refuse to install same sex bathrooms, that can have the effect of forcing many to comply, as most such schools desperately need federal funding. (Some schools may nevertheless legally forgo that funding, though.)
