Hoping there isn't a nasty chain of treaties that will begin a protracted multifaceted ground war in eastern Europe...
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."

Let's just be glad the person targeted wasn't an arch duke . . .
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
