If this president, or any other, issues an illegal order, no one would expect the military to follow it. But if he issues a merely unwise order, that doesn’t offer license to ignore it. Once there’s a precedent that officials can ignore orders from the lawfully elected president—unelected officials, no less, whether Cabinet secretaries or military officers—where does the line get drawn? After all, if the president is unstable enough that a single order can be dismissed, isn’t he too unstable to issue any order?

I can't help but agree here. Well, not just this quote, but the entire article. The electoral college voted for #TrumpNation, the people get #TrumpNation. That's the way our Republic works, for good or ill. Now would be one of those 'ill' times.

I agree...If the president is so unfit that even a single lawful order should be ignored, said president should be removed through the impeachment process. I think the thing holding this back right now is that as soon as they get halfway through the process on Trump, they will need to start the process on Pence.

Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
