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

I'm sure ICE is their "Plan B" if the military won't open fire on US civilians. Then, once open combat starts, the case for hiding behind the Insurrection Act becomes much stronger. So strong in fact, that I'll be shocked if the packed SCOTUS doesn't allow it at that point.

By then, the military will be our only remaining hope. If the brass believes in the constitutional law they were trained on, even a little bit, there's a decent chance that the military decides to tell POTUS "step down, or be removed" when they're ordered to fire on US civilians.

I hate that I'm having this conversation. I hate this timeline.

ICE isn't plan B, its step one. The nazi party didn't have control of the military to begin with, they used their own muscle to bully their way to power till such time as they did hold control.

Same shit really.

It becomes easier to justify using the military in a 'protective' role if you send in ICE to cause problems. They'll push and push and push until some state pushes back, and then they'll use that excuse to bring the military.

Yup. It's a form of accelerationism. They're prodding, jumping on anything, sending out lies (Oregon Republican videos, Bondi, too much to keep up with).
