Uh no.
The DNI is stalling thier report. Apparently there are dept heads thst are trying desparatly to resurect Russian collusion when everything to pointing to China. Unless Trump basically says To hell with their report, EO 13848 is on hold.
Not true. If the EO is declarated under an emergency, (which EO 13848 was) and it involves foreign powers, the Executive branch has huge latatude to go after those actores. Remember DNI, FBI, CIA, are all under his power. If they are compromised (duh) then as commander in chief he can use the military. He can literally get the entire deep state (and the media, and internet ologarts, and financers of misinformation) in a kill shot by taking away finacial support and means to continue operating. But the DNI report is being held up by deep stat rats, and its due Friday. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
In a just world you would be right, however Obama did it with DACA and the courts backed him up with one court even saying that Trump had no authority to rescind it.
Not gonna happen. Trump will do nothing.
I hope the President does something. I have never in my life seen a Government that has every branch of that Government fighting the Presidents orders.
If this is not a coup and Treasonous behavior I don’t know what is.
Do Something today Mr.President.
Look back at Obama’s Obamacare EO
President Trump unlike many of us on FR understands the concept of timing. He’s not going to pull the trigger on the insurrection act until the constitutional process plays out which IMO is after Jan 6th. Everyday that goes by more and more evidence is coming out. More voting machines get audited. More GOP legislators get riled up. Let the pot boil.
If I'm reading the EO correctly, POTUS can act on reliable reporting from other sources, and it seems Rudy, Sidney, and a number of others have sufficient documentation already.
Hoping to hear "Let's Roll."
this EO is different from the Insurrection Act.
To my unlearnt laymen’s eyes...this EO prolly needs to be acted upon prior to invoking the Insurrection Act....but I’m not a lawyer-just playing at one on FR here...
I think the point would be to make the courts irrelevant. The important part would be having the military cooperate and enforce it, I suspect they wouldn't and I think he knows that. Makes any last minute hat tricks highly unlikely in my view.
You mistake is thinking the Supreme Court or any other court matter if martial law is in place, every dictator came to power the same way. On the other hand I would rather have Trump as a dictator than the current crop of progressives.
Yes, if the only choice is a communist dictator or a non-communist dictator, I’m going to support the non-communist dictator.
I certainly hope that your assessment on this matter is correct.
If this fraudulent election is allowed to stand, all remaining GOP legislators will quickly lose their phony-baloney jobs, as the Democrats won't need them anymore, and won't want them around to split up the loot.
The President can do anything he wants to do at any time - if he has the police and military forces to back up those orders. Of course, that is a very big IF.
That's how the Democrats do things.
The "Rule-of-Law" has been dead for a while now. This "stolen election" fandango is just the latest and most conclusive demonstration.
Time we all start playing by the new "rules". The real ones.
The key to enacting the EO
is foreign interference in the
election. (which has been proven).
Any and all actors in the US tied
to that interference are guilty of
sedition and/or treason.
This wasn’t an election, it is a
coup attempt trying to overthrow
a duly elected president.
The military has grounds to act
against all enemies, both foreign
and domestic.
If I only see actions, and ignore words, then I have seen nothing.
Talking about criminal behavior is meaningless.
There is now no place left to run. The deep state rules.
I am glad I am an old man.
