Stress Test

The overlooked point in this is Honore telling Velshi the Pentagon lawyers knew the situation didn’t meet the Constitutional requirements for using troops.

In other words, if Trump had ordered troops onto the streets under the Insurrection Act, the Pentagon might well have treated it as an illegal order. It seems that is what stayed Trump’s hand.

If Trump was a stress test of our democracy, we passed. But we don’t need another one.
