    The heritage Foundation’s 2025 plan doesn’t just go away if Trump loses the election. The Republican party just sit on it, and sit on it, and sit on it, until they are elected again… And they will be elected again.

    So the establishment left needs to show some level of radical action to even “return” to centrist popularity.

    The President pulling rank on The DEA isn’t illegal, and would ensure a full term where the electoral process could be reviewed and further secured, and an a number of Supreme Court justices could be impeached under a stronger set of anti-corruption laws instituted by a democratic effort.

    Because sometimes corrective radicalism is called for and warranted… Like when someone almost does a coup.

      The “pulling rank” the president is allowed to do, legally, is to order them to do a review of the scheduling. Which is what was done. Which finished, and now it’s being rescheduled.

      The president doesn’t actually have the authority to order the DEA to change the scheduling.
