Plan A is a slow-motion coup d’état that has a veneer of faux legality. It will have a judge’s approval, it will have bipartisan support in the senate (think McCain and Lindsay Graham) and the loudly trumpeted support of the news, opinion, and entertainment media non-stop around the clock.
It won’t be legal, but it will look legal enough to cow that part of GOP that isn’t actually complicit.
Plan B is uglier, but they won’t hesitate if Plan A doesn’t work. We’re talking very ugly people here. Trump isn’t owned by these people and that makes him kryptonite to them.
Trump only beats these people by engaging them openly and somewhat brutally, exposing them, mocking them, prosecuting them when necessary. Any normal Repub would not be able to withstand the pounding but Trump likes a good fight. That’s why he will probably win this, but only if he is prepared to fight every day for the next 8 years.
GITMO has a capacity of 490, I’m assuming that means comfortably. Uncomfortably, 1000 or 1500.
Good post.
