This is why * thinks he can spy on you disregarding the Constitution:
And I quote:

"The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law"

4. The legislature didn't write the Constitution
It's the judiciary's job to interpret the law. The executive executes the law. That is why they called it the executive branch.
