And if they went in guns blazing, more people would have died.

How many died when Elian Gonzales was taken?

Let's not get irrational here.

Everyone who had guns was under the authority of the Executive. Nobody would have fired a shot.

Nobody.

Shalom.

Regardless, I still maintain that Democrats would have had a political heyday as a result, with the backing of a media that manipulates facts on a whim.

It would not have boded well for us.

Another quick thought I failed to address in my last post - who's to say?

Who's to say that, in this period of time where people are conditioned to believe that the courts are the law that the local police would not have interpretted an order by the Executive as an unlawful order, regardless of its constitutionality?

I think it was a showdown best avoided.
