Once More, With Feeling

And it didn't happen because of the lawyers. Barr (whom I carry no water for; his behavior was de minimus, not heroic), Cipollone, etc.   Cipollone testified to the Committee that there was no legal basus for seizing voting machines.  Had Trump signed that EO and tried to enforce it, there would have been an explosion in the DOJ and the West Wing, and a rush to be first to get a court to enjoin it as illegal and unconstitutional.

Which means more lawyers, before and behind the bench.

We only got close to how clearly insane and incompetent Trump was.  In retrospect one can argue it would almost have been better had he tried it.  No one would be listening to Trump today.
