Well, it definitely raises questions on, what guardrails are going to be standing when the president actually does something that is not OK, that is actually illegal?
And now we know much of the pushback is coming in the form of lawsuits. We have a ways to go before those make themselves clear, obviously one going to the Supreme Court more quickly. But I think at the end of the day, that looks like the most significant guardrail.
The question about whether members of his own party are going to step up, clearly, that hasn’t happened yet. And I think the story that you ran before this with the farmers, it really — the pipeline from individuals to their members of Congress is more important right now than ever, that it has to come from members, not that they’re getting pressure just from the White House, but that they’re getting pressure from people at home who say, these things are actually impacting us. This is having an impact on our communities.
Those calls coming in that pressure is the only other, besides the courts, guardrail that I can think of right now.
