@kurtlash1@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Yes,I think Article III courts would stand clear. Scenario eerily resembles 1787, nu? -
@Profepps@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Yes. Also 1866 with Pres. Johnson claiming rump Cong. had no legit. power to propose 14thA -
@kurtlash1@rlhall120@RTDSchapiro@KenCuccinelli Rumors he would convene "true Congress," or break up sitting one with troops. Wot larks!
