    No. That’s the law as passed by Congress. Either it’s enforceable or it isn’t.

        Sure. And it’s also enforceable by a court order to the DOD stating they need to comply with the law.

              They have also declined to do so many times on the grounds I’ve pointed out.

              Not every law-related complaint is justiciable, not just anyone can have standing, and there are some things that are the exclusive powers of the other two branches. The court can no more force the President to declare Israel a terrorist state than it can force Congress to declare war.
