We were always headed for a constitutional crisis. It's just a question of what it was going to be regarding.

It should be over this topic. Not small bore dumb shit or technicalities of ritual.

This case, either we have some semblance of laws and procedures, or it's just whatever the fuck the government decides and we stop pretending it's anything otherwise.

At least, at this moment, the guise of law and procedure remains. Whether that's actually worth anything, we'll see.

The one ray of hope in this is that the bond market being fucked up might push elements in the goverment to force Trump to make minor concessions

Agreed. Trump violated the one rule in America: "Don't fuck with the money"
