In other words, a wartime president needs to do something incredibly egregious and unilateral before fearing the law and the Constitution — and then he still might win, as Trump has on his absurd border wall “emergency” and transparently racist travel ban.
A wartime president. Is it currently wartime in the US? When did this period start? September 2001? March 2003? The concept of „wartime“ suggests also a „peacetime“. If it is now wartime, when and how might the US transition to peacetime? What conditions might bring this about? How might this state change be detected?
I am generally a verbal kind of a guy, however in this case it is not encouraging that the words seem to remain while the referents recede.
