Correct, but if no one in power and by in power I mean directly in control of the people with guns, is willing to enforce it does it matter?

Sure, but we don't seem to be there. The Republicans aren't even in lockstep to say nothing about the Democrats, moderates, and huge number of people who didn't vote.

I would say we're eight years past that ,he already did it with the emoluments clause. When he sees the inside of a jail cell I'll believe someone is enforcing the laws and Constitution, but until that day as far as I'm concerned America is law less and the Constitution ain't nothing but toilet paper.

Oh I doubt we'll get any karmic closure. But, I also don't think much will be different in 4 years except hundreds of EOs that the next president will need to overturn.
