i think we are doing exactly the right thing. typically, rogue leaders are brought to yoke by the judiciary or by a popular uprising. i don't like the latter course of action, because the number of civilian casualties is far higher than the legal way. but the legal path, in MANY cases (Israel is the latest example of this) is subverted, rendering it impotent. so far, our judiciary has stood up to Trump. i am not exaggerating one bit. he is something like 1:62 now in cases in the last four years. he pretty much loses every time. and that is EVEN with judges he has appointed. That is the most reassuring thing I've read. How many of those have been criminal cases? zero. ALL of the criminal cases are pending. but keep in mind that the federal cases are about 90% successful. the idea that he will avoid a conviction is the extreme minority position.
