    Will pardons prevent the executions?

    Nothing will matter under law when he becomes a dictator and terminates the constitution on day one.

    There is only one way to stop this.

      How exactly does he terminate the constitution on day 1? I acknowledge that our constitutional protections are under threat, but he really doesn’t have the power to discard it, just to seek judges that don’t care about it.

        Insurrection act.

        Marshall law.

        Etc.

        He’s already said this.

        Plus with all the control in congress and R states I’m pretty sure that can call for that constitutional convention they’ve been dreaming about.

        Option 1, SCOTUS deems that the constitution “isn’t actionable” like they did with the 14th amendment already.

        SCOTUS already defied the constitution by allowing Trump to run. People think a third term isn’t feasible for some reason. They’ve also made decisions based on completely theoretical cases. Stopping SCOTUS requires 2/3 of congress which isn’t happening.

        Option 2, the president does whatever he wants and SCOTUS simply allows it all to happen as they have consistently done.
