Tribe: We might need US military as a fail-safe backstop against Trump, Mattis as a firewall

Laurence Tribe tonight:




Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford joined the military anti-bigotry chorus implying condemnation of Trump's equivocation. Reassuring!






Who wd've thought we might need to rely on the US military as a fail-safe backstop against a Nazi -sympathizing racist Commander in Chief?!?






Sec Def Jim Mattis just might end up having to be the world's firewall against a palpably reckless first use of America's nuclear arsenal.
