On the other hand, what does it matter whether he defies these “judges” now or later? He tried to respond the ordinary way but it didn’t produce results. In the meantime hordes of terrorists are pouring in. Circumstances are changing and it is more of an emergency. Assad has actually said there are terrorists among the “refugees.”
Sure, it will inspire efforts at impeachment but they may not work. And they will try impeachment anyway as soon as they can. Some old bag was wearing a big “Impeach Now” button on the bus yesterday.
Possible theoretical parallel: If the UN had not approved Papa Bush’s entering Kuwait, and Saddam had then proceeded to enter Saudi Arabia, might everyone have agreed that it was more of an emergency? Even the huge increase in men from the named countries entering as fast as they can makes it more of an emergency.
Whatever he does, he will be vilified by the Left and the media. He can’t go around tiptoeing to avoid impeachment by these morons.
Especially since the Left has almost taken over SCOTUS, as many here have said, it would be a gamble, besides being more of a capitulation to the Judiciary, and a waste of precious time.
I think you and I have been making much the same argument tonight.
I agree that the 'proceed cautiously' approach, is the wrong way to go - especially in the case of this president - who has consistently won by ignoring the advice and admonitions of the weak sisters on our side.
Trump won the presidential election precisely because he's a Type A, alpha male, who has the courage to look evil in the eye and spit in its face.
He's not going to win this thing by playing by the enemy's rules, or allowing himself to be suckered into their traps. He's got the law and the Constitution on his side in this matter, and needs to exert his authority NOW, or be permanently neutered by the left.
