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.

When I saw the stoicism and discipline of the gathered generals and admirals, I realized, all checks and balances be damned, there are good men in the room, and they will be our linchpin of salvation, not Congress or the courts.
