That Would Be a Very Bad Idea, Cupcake

That Would Be a Very Bad Idea, Cupcake
"Allow me to explain, Pam, why this is a really, really bad idea.
I have warned about how bad an idea legal reprisals against a departing administration would be, but let’s consider the specific case you present here.
Let’s consider for a moment, purely for the sake of argument, that this were actually true. 
If folk, including governors, started treating Trump as the legitimate president and, therefore, the election illegitimate, what’s to stop them from treating an impeachment or indictment as equally illegitimate? 
...So, what’s the solution? 
If this is truly the path they were to take how would they stop that “shadow government”? 
There are only two ways. 
  • One would be to hold Trump completely incommunicado, even to the extent of forbidding him contact with counsel to discuss appeals and other aspects of due process. 
  • Or they would simply have to kill him (assassination or execution depending on whether they fig-leaf it with a kangaroo court).
That would be absolute “go time”. 
Count on it...Read all.
