Wow, when you lose “Politico”...
There’s no question he has the authority but I think politically he’s taking a smart and cautious approach. Blowing stuff up is fun but then you have to deal with the aftermath; best that he do it with public opinion firmly on his side. And all the steps he’s taking are going to make it harder for even a crazy liberal judge somewhere to try to challenge any action he takes. Although I fully expect they will try, this might be so clear-cut he just ignores them and tells the military to roll with it.
The Dems are trynk to stop him, then people will say he did not fulfill his promise and should not be reelected.
I hope he stays strong and do whatever is necessary and build the wall!
If unilateral action is taken and some leftist judge issues an injunction, it would be nice if there were a mechanism whereby SCOTUS could hear and determine it immediately.
My fear has always been the Joint Chiefs will disobey. In other words, a coup.
