BS. He has every right to issue the EO and force the issue.
I don’t think so Tim. Little thing constitution in the way and dems won’t let Trump skate like gop does bambi.
It would ruin Trump to have a bunch of advisors, but clearly this is statutory already and advisors could have told him he doesn’t need an EO and could have saved today’s incoming for another issue. He simply tells the Atty Gen to do death in every case single case with federal jurisdiction and if reluctant he fires the Atty Gen and gets a new one.
“BS. He has every right to issue the EO and force the issue.”
That’s how I see it - he knows what he’s doing, his advisers are top-notch. He likely figures that the 1% of Republicans that consider themselves to be Constitutional Scholars (many are here) and say it can’t be done won’t figure in to this.
But most of the other candidates and the media will immediately side with the rights of the COP KILLERS (or certainly appear that way), thereby allowing Trump to carve out and own what will be a VERY POPULAR position for the voters he’s trying to reach. No different than keeping Muslims out.
BRILLIANT!
