I meant in a more wholesale and overt way.
Right now they are, to certain degrees, still following the court rulings and still pretending to go through the Congressional appropriations process. I believe they will even abandon this facade and essentially leave Congress and the courts, impotent. You can see it starting. His last couple of EOs have sounded more like him making "laws" than EOs. They go far beyond directives to executive agencies and increasingly have more direct impact on citizens, in a way people are not accustom.
