Federal court system slows to a crawl
The 'doomsday' scenario: Here's what happens if the shutdown drags on
If Trump represents a existential threat to the DS, as he says in his famous speech, then what does the DS have to lose by shutting down government?
What if in reality it's a way for them to force Trump into a deal, not just for a barrier on our southern border, but for their continued existence, or at least freedom from prosecution.
Summary:
A barrier is a big deal for Trump. The democRats use this to first create a MAJOR crisis, from here negotiate their way out of legal jeopardy primarily, and for other things.
IMO, it better explains what we're seeing. The democRats are desperate, only caring what happens to them. So, this is going to get ratcheted up much higher, unless Trump relents, not so much on the wall, but primarily on a guarantee those in the DS will be free from prosecution for what they've done.

“Federal court system slows to a crawl”
And what happens if the federal courts are not functioning? Could Military courts take over? Why yes, yes they could. In fact, that scenario is specifically written into the law.
None of this has anything to do with a wall. It could be about POTUS mandating cornflakes.
None of this has anything to do with a government shutdown.
It all has to do with denying Pres. Trump of anything.
It is about what it has always been about - denying Donald Trump the presidency.
Harassing this president every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year.
It started on election night, when MSM delayed calls on states for Trump, even though there was no way Hillary was going to win them. Stein then calls for recounts. Then the calls for electors to switch votes etc... and continues to this day.
All the rest is kabuki.
