They don't need authority because Congress and the Supreme Court have violated their Oaths of Office and ceded all of their power to the Executive Branch (read: Trump).

We are supposed to have three co-equal branches of government, each acting as a check and balance against the others.

What a quaint notion.

No one stands up to stop them. That is all the authority they need.
