but this is not to that point, yet. We have to see how he attempts to utilize his provocation and war to advance his agenda in that direction and what the legislative branch will do in response. It's kind of a slow motion kind of coup, IMHO and there is still room to wrestle.

I will be interested to see how he tries to play this and what powers he tries to evoke should it continue to escalate.
