Subject: Re: “Soft Secession”
That is part of the interesting but dismal predicament we've gotten ourselves into. Our institutions and processes operated on norms, customs, some embedded in legalese, supposed "guardrails" too. I wonder if there are more of these that I have forgotten. Once Powel is replaced, all the guardrails are gone except for the courts (as far as I can see). The President can change things an awful lot and by the time it gets to the USSC, they allow it partially, or in full. It's opaque where we are, and I see that as, "Warning Will Robinson! Warning! Warning!" My hackles are up. I'm going to get more involved with the Democratic Party, and at least part of that is to have someone to talk to about it.
