Suppose Trump used the emergency powers to postpone the election

[wing2000]

Wake up, bud. The second civil war is already here. Right now it's just a cold war.

Hence your "soldier of the sword" picture?

"The question isn't whether Trump has legal authority to move Election Day and thereby extend his presidency—he doesn't—but a different question: what happens if he just declares that he *does* have this power? And what if he can do so with a false *veneer* of legal legitimacy?"
And so Seth Abramson walks us through such a scenario.

Would you vote in November anyway?

Trump has no such power and any effort to do so would immediately be shot down the courts.

Define the sides, and I will tell you.

I do not happen to agree with the assessment that we are in “civil-war” territory. But you do. The “sides” would be obvious to you if you weren’t just blowing smoke.

Uh, no. In case you didn't see it, my username is soldier of the cross.
Would to God the division in this country was not like it is. Civil war is the last thing I would want. But it is here.

They are obvious to me. But you asked what side I'm on, and I don't know what you are defining the sides as. That's why I asked.

Trump never said he had that power. He only put it out as an option for people to consider.

Then the country is in worse shape if the voting booth and compromise will not keep it together.

I didn't say he did. I was responding to the op.

It likely won't. The country is in very bad shape. I think all hell will break loose regardless of who wins the election. I don't want it to happen, I just think it's inevitable.

Okay. My bad. Quite a few people try to make it sound as if Trump said he has the power and was going to try to do it.

So there is a "civil war" but you don't know who is involved?

Good grief. Read my response to him.

I guess I should have elaborated on what I meant when I asked.

People, we are on the verge of a full on socialist takeover of the USA. If we need an election delay so we can further eliminate opportunities for incorrect voting, its the least we should do in defense of liberty.

I didn't say he did. I was responding to the op.

But the OP doesn't say he has that power, either. He would just claim he does, and rely on the Supreme Court to be slow enough in the knock down of his claim to corrupt the election.

Define what you interpret the sides to be, and I will tell you. Your narrative could be different than mine.

So you know the war is already on but you don't know the sides?

So you know the war is already on but you don't know the sides?

I'm asking him to define what he sees the sides as, and I will tell him which one I'm on. I know what the sides are, but his narrative might be different then mine, so I'm asking so my answer can line up with the way he thinks.

Not only did I read it but I quote it. I see you have since edited your post to make your question clear.

I meant read my response to the other person who asked the same question you did.
