Kim R. Holmes, a former Assistant Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, argued that short-term political victories could carry long-term consequences by weakening the legal and institutional constraints that traditionally limit presidential authority. Conservative Warning From Within Holmes said Trump's governing style relies too heavily on executive orders, directives and presidential memoranda rather than legislation passed by Congress. While such actions allow rapid policy changes, he argued they are equally vulnerable to reversal by the next president. That, he warned, leaves supporters celebrating gains that could quickly disappear after a change in administration. 'Rules Broken Today Will Be Used Tomorrow' Holmes cautioned that every legal norm or constitutional convention weakened by one administration becomes available to its successor. He argued Republicans may lose the ability to criticise future Democratic presidents for exercising the same expanded powers if they defend similar actions now. In his view, durable reforms require legislation rather than executive action that can be undone with the stroke of a pen. Civil Service Fears Intensify The debate follows recent court rulings expanding presidential authority over parts of the federal government, prompting renewed concern about the future independence of the civil service. Former federal prosecutor and legal analyst Barb McQuade argued the decisions could make it easier for incoming presidents to remove large numbers of career government employees, potentially reviving a political patronage system that previous reforms sought to eliminate. Executive Power Takes Centre Stage Holmes's remarks gained support from several prominent conservative commentators, highlighting unease within parts of the Republican movement over the long-term implications of expanding presidential authority. The dispute reflects a broader constitutional debate extending beyond Donald Trump's presidency. As both parties increasingly rely on executive action to advance policy, critics warn each new expansion of White House power creates precedents that future administrations—regardless of political affiliation—may be tempted to use, further reshaping the balance between the presidency, Congress and the courts.

A rougue app doesn't necessarily have to "see" what you have installed if it can record sensitive info. If I was a hacker and had a list of login/password pairs from the apps you've run I could easily cycle through that list for as many banking apps as I wanted to try, and this procedure could be automated.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 08:35:31 +0000Thailand needs a good dose of hardline enforcement against foreigners deciding to be threatening and intimidating. It's a breeding ground for what eventually becomes violence. This guy is out there and needs to be made an example of.
