    It’s cute that you think things like “laws” and “precedent” are going to give Trump + the Nationalist Christians even a fraction of a second of pause.

    Frankly, I’m expecting laws and divisions of power to be broken quite flagrantly, and nothing will be done about it.

      With all due respect: I’m talking about the age-old strategy of Blue States protecting who Red States cannot protect. During the time of slavery, Northern States emancipated the slaves. The slaves had to get to the north somehow (ie: Harriet Tubman), but that’s just how our laws and legal systems work.

      Is this a good thing that we have to go back to centuries-old bulwarks to protect ourselves? No. This is a regression. Nonetheless, these old fortresses of law stood the test of time, and its time for us to man this next level of posts. This legal tradition can also be blown over by a chaotic enough group, but its the most obvious place as the “next stand” we should do together.
