    Pretty sure everyone knew and has known that it’s illegal. The problem was never the legality, the problem has always been that nobody’s going to stop him. And so it is with all of the other illegal things the administration’s done so far and will do

      This is also the largest issue with the ability of the populace to stop him. The military and militarized police are with him. They could have refused this order, as they’re sworn to do, but they didn’t. Maybe the lower level enlisted didn’t have the knowledge of the order’s legality, but the NCOs and officers commanding them certainly did. They are class traitors and present as a monumental obstacle to the rest of us.

        Marines and military personnel in general are class traitors. They may lack the class consciousness to know it, but the act of signing up is traitorous to the working class around the world.

      It’s the Miller plan from day one: ignore law, push to SCOTUS, and get those bitches to legalize it.
