Clearly he is mad, he forgot to say your responsibility to be ready for the fight is now hehe..
Anyway, the decree path is a dangerous shit that once the government start using it it will never stop, here in Argentina the congress approved a law allowing the executive to create decrees and have some other "super powers" as they're called here, because of the economical emergency situation, that was like 2 decades ago, and now they never want to declare the crisis finished just to keep having an executive with super powers.
US citizens shouldn't allow the executive to rule using decrees, specially when its directly attacking civil liberties with that tool.
