Johnson demands all Trump prosecutions cease, vows to use Congress 'in every possible way'

81. Not likely is not the same as won't

A lot of people said it was unlikely Roe would be overturned but guess what it was. All I am saying is if they give full immunity to him they will have lost all legitimacy. Then our side won't be able to depend on the courts for protection.

I am not saying we act on the hypothetical now, but we need to be prepared to act if the hypothetical becomes reality. Locke believed in the social contract(in our case the Constitution)and so do I. The contract is only worthwhile if both sides agree to honor it's terms. If one side violates those terms the other side is allowed to consider it broken. It would be like continuing to pay rent on an apartment you've been evicted from.

When January 6 happened I wrote to my European History professor. He said we should be okay as long as the courts hold, but my question is what happens if they don't hold?

Again we need a plan if they don't. Multiple possibilities and out comes need to be prepared for. It's like we hope our houses never catch on fire, but we still put in smoke detectors, have exit plans in place, 911, and the fire department's.

It's just common sense to be prepared for a potentially dangerous situation.
