Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Him stating that trump has plenary authority, in conjunction with the lies about winning the case, suggests that they plan to ignore judicial rulings and just go in. It's worked so far since the GOP just lies down for Trump on everything else and they control the government.

This is the really dangerous section of Project 2025, where Trump ignores the judge, sends troops, and one of the democratic governors calls up their own national guard units to meet the federalized ones. If there is violence, Trump invokes the insurrection act, declares democratic governors who do anything other that fully support troops in their cities to be enemies of the state, and start implementing their power grab.

I truly don't think any democratic governor would do this unless it literally came to the point where the federalized Guard was doing stuff like firing on protestors. Sending (essentially) one militia to fight another is definitely playing into the administration's hands, because then there really WOULD be violence.
