  It's making for some interesting saber-rattling. . .in which one side has all the actual sabers.
  
  I am SINCERELY hoping that this turns out to be the Democratic Party's overreach that burns their party as we have come to know it to the waterline come November.
  
  Between the SCOTUS and POTUS witch hunts, the NYC stabbings, the ongoing messes in the various liberal "capitols", and how the church shooting in Texas was resolved, exactly how much more "DO THE MATH" do voters need?  This is not even a question of whether or not you hold any love for Republicans - the "Greater Evil" sign has been flashing with some pretty bright neon for quite some time now.

  This can only have potential as fuel for power in the arena of rhetoric.
  
  The minute actual force is nationally televised against the citizenry, the Governor, the legislature, and their entire support mob will have committed political suicide. This is my prediction. If an alternate outcome developes, a staggety for serious involvement in local politics might be something we all need to examine.

  With luck he already has, but a critical point that - make DAMN sure they cast the first stone.

  When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.
