    Please explain to me how they are going to arrest someone that can pardon himself and use the national guard or Army to protect himself?

      Well, there were 5.2m people protesting in one day.

      The judges have the authority to deputize number of people required to carry out an arrest warrant in the case of contempt.

      I am willing to bet that out of 5.2m there are at least several hundred thousand willing to assist with that.

        This would play right into the persecution narrative. It’s basically asking for a shooting war with both the secret service and the proud boys/oath keepers/etc types, at the very least. And I suspect it would be where we see if the military is going to follow illegal orders or not.

        Can it work? That’s a long shot at best. But the list of viable options is short and getting shorter.

      They aren’t going to. Talk it to death nothing will change. No court or Marshall can help anymore. They have instilled a fascist dictator who will not be removed without force.

          I’ll be shocked to hell and back if they would actually use force, even if they’re authorized to do so.

          Trump can issue an excecutive order and have them executed.

          remember - SCOTUS has ruled he is immune from prosecution.

            An “insane” ex-employee of a three letter agency can fire a wire-guided missile at his helicopter too, or someone may leave a drop of nerve agent on his door knob. I mean to say: possibilities for violence are endless. They’re an entirely different dish than legal possibilities, which are limited. With violence, imagination is the limit.

            The supreme court however - I think they’re not bound by their previous rulings. If the court sees a justification, they can rule differently next time.

            They even decided it before they elected the dictator so folks could vote accordingly and they still ticked Heir Drumpf on vote day or didn’t bother.

      …and was ruled by SCOTUS to be immune to prosecution for some undetermined “official acts”. And when he was convicted the judge ruled no penalty should be applied because SCOTUS had ruled he was immune to prosecution.
