I admire your practicality about taking action. But...
Haven't we seen enough of this style of decision-making and 'action' from this administration? Take a look at the record, at all the high-pressure-sales-to-the-citizens executive actions they've taken. It's a lot like Iraq. Pump up the fear in Congress and among the populace that 'something terrible' will happen if we don't immediately cede rights and budget to the exec to do 'whatever trick is up our sleeve, don't worry we'll tell you all about it later.' We've seen enough erosion of rights and we've seen enough power grabbing. It's time to say no, take our medicine, and clean up the mess we've all caused.

'No Mas.'
I'll assume your point as proven.
So because the pattern up to now was flawed, we reject this instance, under the assumption that it must somehow be flawed as well?
That's not logical, in my opinion. Each case has to stand on its own.
