In any case the Democrats need to get very, very proactive instead of waiting until it is too late. I don't know who can intervene at this point, but you'd think SOMEONE could do more than propose town meetings or public marches. It seems quite clear that the coup planners expect us and the Democratic party to play softball by those rules. They are not going to play by any rules at all and have already stolen or dismantled significant portions of OUR government. Congress may not be sitting on their hands but it sure looks as if they are.
I am worried that the plan is to jump so far into the deconstruction that legal response will at best be academic exercises if not completely moot. That is what I believe they are doing.
Closing the government down by stopping the budget vote won't really help, even if it is the thing Congress has to do.
The mad Pirate King and his flunkies will go right on pillaging.
Until a judge has him handcuffed for mass murder through enforced neglect I don't see him stopping. I suspect they planned the entire sequence of disruptive chaos through setting so many brushfires they overwhelm the system of checks and balances.
