“If you’re the president, if you’re a member of Congress, if you are a TSA agent, the only reason why somebody should listen to what you say, instead of horsewhipping you out of town for your impertinence, is because you exercise power via the Constitution.
If the Constitution doesn’t count, you don’t have any legitimate power. You’re a thief, a brigand, an officious busybody, somebody who should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail for trying to exercise power you don’t possess.” — Full Podcast: Glenn Reynolds on Politics, the Constitution, and Technology
It is through the Constitution that the power to control the military and the executive power that gives him dominion over the armed and dangerous men that are controlled by the Departments and Bureaus of the government. As this Prince of Fools continues to travel far beyond the past limits of power and control over the citizens of our country it is only this weight of Arms that will sustain him. If the men holding those guns (each) decide that he is still standing on that Constitution.
If they decide he is no longer standing with the Constitution as his oath requires, that is the interesting question. What will happen to a nascent dictator standing in the midst of all those dedicated and armed men if and when they decide he no longer is controlled by adherence to his Constitutional oath?
