Court: president must obey legal mandate

The DC appeals court says the president is not above the law:

“The president may not decline to follow a statutory mandate or prohibition simply because of policy objections,” Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh wrote in a majority opinion, which was joined Judge A. Raymond Randolph. Chief Judge Merrick B. Garland dissented.

The case regarded the nuclear waste storage site in Nevada, not his higher-profile flouting of the law over Obamacare and immigration, but this still seems noteworthy.
