This reflects an ongoing question on my part. Is Trump lying, or is he living in an alternate reality where he is right? Does he really believe he has some sort of reasonable legal argument?
I believe that he really believes that he, as the ultimate authority in the land, should have the final say. If his assessment is that national security is paramount, then nobody should be able to question him. The concept of a "reasonable legal argument" doesn't exist for him because that would imply that he is subservient to the law. He has shown time & time again that he doesn't recognize the law, whether it's his attitude towards torture, or deployment of forces, or a myriad of other things.
Altogether too likely for my comfort. If so, his relationships with the other two branches of government are going to continue to go bad.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
