    Please explain to me how they are going to arrest someone that can pardon himself and use the national guard or Army to protect himself?

      Well, there were 5.2m people protesting in one day.

      The judges have the authority to deputize number of people required to carry out an arrest warrant in the case of contempt.

      I am willing to bet that out of 5.2m there are at least several hundred thousand willing to assist with that.

        This would play right into the persecution narrative. It’s basically asking for a shooting war with both the secret service and the proud boys/oath keepers/etc types, at the very least. And I suspect it would be where we see if the military is going to follow illegal orders or not.

        Can it work? That’s a long shot at best. But the list of viable options is short and getting shorter.

      …and was ruled by SCOTUS to be immune to prosecution for some undetermined “official acts”. And when he was convicted the judge ruled no penalty should be applied because SCOTUS had ruled he was immune to prosecution.

      They aren’t going to. Talk it to death nothing will change. No court or Marshall can help anymore. They have instilled a fascist dictator who will not be removed without force.

        The deputized Marshalls are authorized to use force if necessary to apprehend the criminal.

          I’ll be shocked to hell and back if they would actually use force, even if they’re authorized to do so.
