(4,858 posts)...an interim President, until we know whether or not our incoming "President" is a goddam traitor or not. As for the "constitutionality" of it--to coin a phrase, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. If we permit Trump to take the oath Friday, we, as a nation, are committing suicide. The Constitution--*all* of it--will be a dead letter by 2020. Better to bend the letter of it now, than lose the reality of it. And I don't want to hear any more "well, what if the Repubs do this to the next Dem President" arguments. I find it very hard to believe that these arguments are being made in good faith. The Repubs are a fascist party out to destroy liberal democracy. We are not. We do not elect Trumps. I know what the men of 1775, 1861, and 1941 would have done.
