But then also - compliments of the Supreme Court rulings - the POTUS of the day has almost unlimited power to put down any rising, without reprecussion Trumps stacking of the Supreme Court has given him great power - IF he's president if he's not - then, it works against him.

plainly pinot. its not the military, but Trump's militia. the militant followers that came when he called for the insurrection, the storming of the Capitol. this was just a test of His authority among the far right wingtippers.
