> the order extended no-fly zones to ground vehicles belonging to the Department of Homeland Security. Even while the vehicles were in motion. Even if they were unmarked. And even if their routes had not been announced.

I want to know the genius who wrote this, and the mastermind who approved it.

Whoever it was knew exactly what they were doing, and it was intentional.

Unmarked no-fly zones at unannounced times and locations are a remarkable innovation. Hopefully they will tell you when and where you shouldn't have been when they charge you for it, but that may be classified.

Up next, secret interpretations of laws to do things with zero accountability or public overaight. Oh wait we already have that.

Slowly clawing back liberties against this fascist administration.

Not really. The FAA revised the rule, but that was their choice, not the result of a ruling or even the reasoned application of a general principle.

The very broad power of administrative rulemaking held by that agency is unchanged -- and the power of agencies generally, to make law without legislating, without accountability to the electorate, actually has nothing to do with this administration, does it? It actually has nothing to do with any of them. It's something the legislature has allowed to grow and grow over successive administrations, whether Democrats or Republicans are in power.
