(7,794 posts)Inevitable, really, any laws defining boundaries on executive prerogatives are necessarily open-ended as to be vague, even ambiguous. Every occasion where they come into play will be dependent on refinement and specificity for their applicability. Did anyone here ever actually believe our justice system would, with ease or certainty, seriously curtail the activity of a determined, amoral and adversarial POTUS or ex-POTUS without, at minimum, 2/3 of the government decidedly/reliably in hand?
The half-truths of politics are real and living, often writhing, aspects of human interaction, unavoidable for non-hermits and void of certainty. The CIC designation predictably flushes the military fetish fear mongers from their holes, shivering, with every rumor/whisper of "threats to national security". Franklin's, democracy......"if you can keep it", epithet referred to just this sort of situational "fortitude evaluation" for the citizenry. Will cell phone junkies and Starbucks addicts pass such a test?
In time for election day? In time for anything to do with justice? Whuddaya think?
