      Then you haven’t been paying attention. I’ve said this a million times before for people saying what you’re saying: the executive has less far reaching power than Congress or Judicial for a reason. This is that reason.

      Judges can arrest anyone attempting to enforce these fake proclamations that are illegal.

      Judges can seize assets from private banks.

      Judges can put anyone in jail that refuses to comply, and Trump can’t pardon them.

      If these rules don’t hold them there is no constitutional agreement that states need to abide, and they all immediately assume control of military assets in said states. That’s the end of the US, and an immediate assault and destruction of Trump and his psychos in DC.

      They won’t even try to push that. They know what will happen.

        Judges can issue orders for all that, but they have no enforcement mechanism of their own. Enforcement of orders is done through bodies like the US Marshals, which are ultimately under the executive branch. What happens if a judge issues a ruling, but the President instructs everyone under him not to enforce it?

        Like the judges who could have locked him up before the election?

        I don’t think you are hearing what I’m saying. My faith in our institutions is done. Kaput. I will happily eat a serving of crow if needed, but that’s gonna have to be a good sales pitch because if our institutions worked we wouldn’t be where we are today. We couldn’t stop Trump when he had zero executive power and was not the president.

          You don’t have a basic understanding of that concept or the Judicial system. Not even worth responding when you come with a fundamental idiotic understanding of how this works.

            Where the fuck have you been for the last 10 years? Why do you believe that laws, norms, and rules, mean anything to this gang of fucking thieves?
