    In the shithole that is lawless America it is no longer a court anymore, supreme or otherwise. It’s just a bunch of people wearing weird clothes saying meaningless things.

    The funny thing about law is that it protects you, me, everybody. When you abandon law, it no longer protects anyone or anything. There is no such thing as murder, or ICE, or Police or terrorist or Supreme Court, or President. Without a constitution and the rule of law, it is all a naked, barbaric contest for power by savages.

    :popcorn:

    Let the games begin I guess.

      Yes, as an American I see the federal government as a lawless corrupt dictatorship that certainly has the power to destroy lives, but no legitimacy.
