Ruling by executive fiat isn't necessarily bad, but it's a hell of a trend. Should you be able to sidestep Congress to implement mandatory listing of drug pricing (especially when you also control one chamber of Congress)? Should you be able to sidestep a Supreme Court ruling by issuing an executive order? What legislative issue is the administration working around exactly?

Sometimes you do need someone with a vision to make the calls instead of a consensus. Especially when that consensus involves people on the receiving end of lobbying.

Which is to say, maybe we can start making lobbying less of a thing.
