    I would normally post the “That’s not how this works. that’s not how any of this works” meme in response to this…

    But the rule of law is over. We’re still masquerading as if the music hasn’t stopped. It’s not clear to me what law, even means. So like sure, maybe he will. It’s absurd even in principle, but here we are dancing in the absurd.

    If a government isn’t bound by laws, them laws have no meaning.

      Yep, same. I am continuously baffled at people who are surprised when the regime does something wildly illegal and outside of their jurisdiction. The question is no longer “who’s going to let them”. The question has become “who’s going to stop them”, and the answer thus far, in the context of any part of our officialdom, is “absolutely fucking nobody”.
