Saturday

Will the mayor deploy the police to stop troops disembarking? Because anything short of such physical, possibly violent confrontation is futile. The courts may rule against Trump, but he'll ignore that while the case is appealled to the Supreme Court. By then the deed is done and boots are on the ground.
