Genuine inquiry: Who has the authority and the history of stopping the current administration from just doing things? Currently, the administration is ignoring a decision from the supreme court [0], and congress has failed to hold the administration on account of abuse of power and withholding promised funds to other nations to broker deals for personal gains [1]. The attorney general, head of law enforcement, has been accused of inconsistent enforcement of the law regarding respecting civil liberties on behalf of the administration (in the hearing, one politician noted that the attorney general did not use military force against armed protestors against the shutdown occupying government buildings, but did use military force against unarmed protestors against police brutality).
So, genuinely, are there any parties that would or could prevent a delay if the administration chooses to enforce such?

- evan_ 6y agoYeah exactly. Trump will simply say “the election is canceled” and blue states will still have elections and red states won’t, and the SCOTUS will find 5-4 on ideological lines that Trump is now the king of America, and that will be that.
- koheripbal 6y agoThe red states will absolutely still have elections. I think you GREATLY overestimate his support among GOP leadership.
- evan_ 6y agoRepublican leaders sometimes bristle and say "well I wish we could deal with the real issues instead of tweets" and say how "disappointed" they are, and then they just do whatever Trump wants to do.
- koheripbal 6y agoThe US Military has already publicly said they will escort Trump out of the White House if needed at the end of his term.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoI see, neat! Could you link me to the claim?
- evan_ 6y agopossibly this interview with Biden where he says he thinks the military would do that: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/11/politics/joe-biden-donald-trump-military-white-house/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/11/politics/joe-biden-donald-tru... not really very convincing IMHO!
