Paul at least is in possession of a more reality based view, both as to what the ‘24 election meant, and as to how little Tangerine will ever actually accomplish.
Paul’s view is nearly the opposite of Hinderaker’s — as we noted, after his customary highballs. [He thinks this is all no less historic than July 16, 1918 — in Russia, as the Romanovs are… removed. Hah!] Paul on the other hand is very skeptical than any military action will ever occur against US citizens or even asylum seekers. Though phrased in the negative, Paul’s statements broadly hint that any such order would be fount unlawful by the courts.
Moreover, this is an admission that any such order, to use the military to deport asylum seekers do not yet have paper, but do you have to process hearing rights… Would take months if not years to litigate in the courts, ultimately likely reaching the Supreme Court… Sometime in late 2026 or early 2027.
Between now, and then, I am confident that the military would not honor any such order from tangerine.
And the Head of the Joint Chiefs tonight (almost) said just that — in remarks quoted in the Washington Post. While Paul claims it is not likely to come to that, he admits there would be very little that Tangerine might do, to shorten that perhaps 3.5 year delay in any such order being executed.
And it likely never would be authorized, even by the conservative Supremes.
So I think it wise (henceforth) to ignore Hinderaker’s more manic fever dreams of an authoritarians’ / fascists’ / populists’ “revolution”.
Ain’t gonna happen, son.
Out.
