We are on the same page when it comes to legal orders, the issue is, that the gray area around this order makes it hard to determine if it is legal or not. There are so many issues with this order, even most general officers are deferring to the courts. The more you dig into the actual order the more impossible it is to legally complete, and the more shady the whole process becomes.
