Having the AG there is the only paper-thin facade stopping it from obviously looking like absolute dictatorial authority. By having another name on the page it gives them the ability to say “it’s not just Trump who decides the law, the AG weighs in too”. Ignoring the fact that the AG is up his ass and serves Trump’s every whim.
This is the straw that broke the back of American law and justice. Unless the SCOTUS slaps this EO down with the strongest of force as soon as possible, the American experiment is over.
Was he somehow forced to include the AG?

Thanks for explaining. I figured it was something like that, but I’m Canadian so I wasn’t sure.
