    I don’t want to hear a legal argument about why Trump can’t delay the election. I want to hear why he shouldn’t.

        Once you retreat to a legal-only argument, you’re ceding every argument about right and wrong to the other side. That also makes you a boring lawyer. In the long run, they always lose.

        To be clear, I’m not subtweeting someone specifically. Just a comment on the legalism fallacy in general.

        To assume that the President has the authority to delay the election is to insult the intelligence of the Founders who were truly afraid of a totalitarian central power. https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench/status/1288869179676921862 …

        It is rather telling that Republican responses have all been "oh he's such a joker" or "I don't think he can do that", and not "that's an attack on fundamental norms of our democracy".

        Never! You do both and blend them into a wonderful/compelling argument. I’ve never thought of you as a “the law says this, so that’s it” kinda writer.

        Moving the election (back or forward) would set a dangerous precedent. Future presidents could move an election to a point when their approval rating was higher, especially if some bad news is about to come out.

        Why he shouldn't is easy, though, particularly since he's been *doing everything he can to create* the danger that he says is the reason to postpone the election and just leave him in power. No, Trump, power isn't your reward for leaving us to die.
