    That’s the point. By making them stick to the Constitution, they have to deliberately ignore it and make up their own rules, and that makes it much harder for even a friendly Supreme Court to agree with them.

    Make them dance.

      By making them stick to the Constitution

      What the actual fuck…

      You think they’re being held by the constitution?

      That’s not even getting into how the “difficulties” it creates is just SC clerks from Ivy League schools have to work more unpaid hours to write up some bullshit justification…

        Of course not, but you don’t just give them an out, make them actually, literally violate the Constitution.

        Then dare SCOTUS to defend it.

          make them actually, literally violate the Constitution.

          They not only are, they have been, consistently…

          Then dare SCOTUS to defend it.

          They do, again consistently…

          You think that is somehow accomplishing something, even tho I just said;

          just SC clerks from Ivy League schools have to work more unpaid hours to write up some bullshit justification…

          Is anything I’m saying making sense to you?

            No, it’s not. I’m supposed to surrender American Democracy because of some imaginary law clerks? WTF?

              What you’re saying to do, is what’s been happening and is happening and won’t do anything to prevent it from continuing…

              Your plan is “surrender”

              But at this point I don’t think I’m going to help you understand anything, and frankly I don’t think it’s worth the effort

                What in the actual fuck are you talking about? I’m the one who has been saying that we should NOT surrender! Call their bluffs, make them follow through with their Constitution-violating threats, and make them work for everything they want to do, instead of just giving it to them.
