He just withdrew all troops from LA, Chicago, Kilmer Garcia is free on US soil, the Comey and James indictments have been dismissed, etc…not exactly a good record for a wannabe strongman dictator.

Despite frequently acting with lawless impunity, and some high profile dick wagging internationally, this one absolute truth remains:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

Justice matters.

and threaten to beat up the staff and customers, then after a 6-3 decision of the SC, just say OK I'm withdrawing and go home after I committed a crime against the Constitution... and nothing done about my crime would be justified so nobody would do anything.

Nice society you have there.
