  • This is a recognition that Trump realizes he can’t just do whatever he wants.

    Trump will do whatever he wants, and he’s going to take the easiest path to doing it. If the Senate doesn’t want to give up oversight of cabinet appointments, he’ll just ignore the Senate and make whatever appointments he wants. Anything else would require someone to insist that he can’t do that, and there will be nobody to do that.

    Then what? The DoJ isn’t going to do anything about it, because Trump will just tell them not to. Even if DoJ did somehow try to do something about it, it would either be a slow walk for show, or interminable delays by Trump, et al. Even if it eventually goes to trial, the judiciary and SCOTUS have a mandate to shield Trump from consequences at any cost.

    All the while, they’ll just charge forward with the unconfirmed appointments, do more crimes, lather, rinse, repeat.

    Prepare to resist.
