1. Here’s my take: this represents the first actual constitutional crisis - the Supreme Court said Trump can’t do something, Trump says to SCOTUS, “screw you, I’m doing it anyway.” This might sound strange but I welcome this. Why? Because ...
2. Trump has been marching (or should I say goose-stepping) toward this dictatorial end-game since the day of his inauguration. So let’s just get to it, shall we? If Trump does this, the Republicans will have a stark choice to make . .
3. The Republicans can either put an end to Trump’s presidency OR they can let Trump put an end to our constitutional system of government. If the Republicans support Trump in ignoring the Supreme Court’s ruling then . . .
4. Trump will no longer be constrained by the US Constitution. He can order his political opponents jailed . . . or worse. He can suspend the 2020 elections & declare himself president for life. Without constitutional constraints, he can do anything to our country and its people.
5. If the Republicans free Trump from the constraints of the Constitution, I shudder to think what may happen thereafter.
