Yeah he doesn't have the legal ability to reverse the sanctions because that power would have resided with the legislature. Instead he is disbanding the people who would normally perform the objective decided by the legislature. This alone should be enough to show the legislative branch he should be removed at all costs, but they will not. They will allow him to make acts against the country under the guise they are acting as if the moves are for "their party" and not against what the people voted for. Slowly but surely letting power slip from the legislature. A dictatorship is growing every day.

I really hope to see a front page for all media post some day that just titles. FREEDOM IS DEAD

We weren't all that free before, but we are becoming less free day by day

It wasn't dead when the Democrats sent the police over the anti-genocide protestors? Or is it okay if the Democrats do it?
