“Don’t stir the pot.”

But part of me would like to see Trump try it. That would create a REAL Constitutional crisis the likes of which we have never seen, and, given the current state of the Republic, I suspect that the SCOTUS would be compelled to rule in favor of state sovereignty—i.e. FOR the Governor of Oregon.
