Is there any constitutional or legal solution? [View all]


Please read through this as I put forward a previously unthinkable possible outcome. It needs to be considered, if only so as not to be surprised and paralyzed.

The evil one has essentially shut down the CDC and the NIH. At this point, he is (again) a threat to public health and safety. Shutting down public health systems can be as or more dangerous than most military actions.

He is attacking those he percieves as weak first.

The US constitution does not guard against this craziness. We have been over this again and again in Term 1. I believe the Democrat leadership as well as millions of others tried their best to come up with solutions in Term 1, contingency plans before the election, and action plans since the election. Is there any realistic solution other than a temporary military takeover? If I remember correctly, this action was discussed by some military behind the scenes in Term 1.

I never thought I would think that this would cross my mind as solution for my country. Yet the constitution was written for "gentlemen" and won the assumption "honor" would be a driving force. Term 1 and the beginning of Term 2 have shown us that the Crazy One and his minions do not operate with honor.

The US has not been a country of mass demonstrations and general strikes for generations. I would prefer those, and hundreds of other ways of acting against this

Please try to discuss this rationally and without too much actions. I am putting this out as an IDEA. It is in the range of possible outcomes, and should be discussed.
