It isn't up to the constitution to stop the administration from doing
anything. The constitution stipulates 3 purportedly co-equal branches of
our government (the executive, legislative and judicial) to provide the
checks and balances. Therefore, it's mostly the responsibility of the
legislative branch to assert themselves and thus far, they have
abdicated, undoubtedly for reasons far too complex to reasonably dissect
here.

The entire analogy has lost it's way.
