again the premise of my post was that the senate gets backed into a corner where the only way for them to get this done is to somehow have trump either sign an EO or otherwise facilitate powell running his magical database query.
to say such a thing cant be done by the fed is charming and i want to live in that world very much but when you have the full legislative power of the president and senate in alignment, things tend to happen quickly.
no one thought we could invade iraq either but cheney cracked open his rolodex, found the right lawyer, and they were off the races.
