Our Substantial Power "Will Not Be Questioned!"

[Honeycombe8]

Stephen Miller, 45's political advisor (a political operative), made some appearances on the Sunday political shows. At one stop, he said the following about the Constitutionally-required judicial review of the travel ban Executive Order:

(O)ur opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.

OMG. This is the talk of dictators. This is scary stuff.

I hope our checks and balances system devised by The Founding Fathers holds up under this. There's something very wrong going on.

1. There are no checks but the courts. The republican congress is complicit

[gratuitous]

2. So when President Trump executive orders the confiscation of all private firearms

We can expect his supporters to dutifully troop down to the local sheriff's office and hand over their shootin' arns? In the name of national security, of course. They wouldn't dare challenge the president, let alone question him, would they?

I think Stephen Miller has executive orders confused with the letters of transit from Casablanca.

3. Yeah, I think Trump Chumps will draw the line at the 2nd Amendment

And that will be a glorious and bloody day.
