5. Trump is weak and incompetent

But, IIRC, the article said he was opposed to the suggestion from Miller and Vance to suspend Habeas.

I’m not chilled or afraid - while I don’t welcome such action, if they did try and suspend Habeas, it would trigger the biggest constitutional crisis since the civil war.

Anyone held without Habeas could be ordered immediately released by the courts. Despite mythology to the contrary, this administration follows court orders the vast majority of the time, preferring to get stays pending appeal (which they wouldn’t get in this case) rather than outright defiance.

It might be the catalyst congress would need to impeach and remove the bastard (and I think he knows it, which is why he shot down the idea).

Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami.
