We have ended up where we are today with the Constitution in place the entire time. So…yeah.

You think they will allow a member of their own party with a minority view to stop their plans, laughable.

I don’t know if they will in the future (neither do you) but they have in the past.

A good start would be to prevent District Judges from issuing wholesale, nationwide injunctions. They should be limited to the district they are a part of. If your choice is to continue to allow them, Congress could also make it a requirement that any nationwide injunction issued below the SCOUTUS level, should be immediately subject to review by a multiple judge panel at a higher level prior to implementation.

Okay, this is sensible, but we were not discussing sensible solutions like this; we were discussing authoritarian solutions - specifically that the President should be able to fire federal judges at will.

Oh boy.



Had I left out the "Bible" narrative re what is happening IRL and went with " establish a 'World Government' based on "the number" (Digital), and when push comes to shove re "herding cats", then turn on and slaughter those who reject it's DEI ploy"...would this speculative theory be absurd and deserving of an "oh boy"?

Keep an eye on me Mo. I'm out there. And worked my arse off to get there.

The issue with the UK is the lack of the Constitution, not the democracy.


It's both.

It's exactly what I said it was.

We have a Constitution and we could vote to give away our democracy too. It would be harder—we'd have to pass a Constitutional amendment, or several of them, but democracies are inherently vulnerable in that the citizenry can vote away the democracy.

And the more people you allow to vote, the more likely that outcome is.

Whatever they have done is almost zero compared to packing the court. The democrats have not done that yet, but they are campaigning on it.

Further, the plainly partisan judgements by Boasberg, Amy “SNAP” Jackson, and several other dipshits is worse than anything Trump has done.

Lastly, the appointment, and confirmation, of Ketanji Jackson has debased the highest court for a generation.
