Should have rioted when they illegally decided the election in 2000.
A riot did decide the 2000 election, unfortunately it was the fascists who were rioting.
In other words, that was the previous coup.
Another example of rioting accomplishing what voting couldn't.
SCOTUS was never legitimate; they gave themselves the power of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.
The executive branch can declare that the court is illegitimate at any time, since it is up to the executive branch to enforce the law.
If the supreme court can't subject laws to constitutional scrutiny, and there is no longer separation of powers, I think that's basically the end of the US Republic.
Yep! Welcome to the show, try the fish before it's gone and don't think too hard about what comes next, we'll be in it soon enough anyway.
Hit 'em with the ol' "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
No. Fucking. Shit.
The complete collapse of one of the three real legs of the US government. The president was not intended to be more than a figurehead, because the founding fathers thought the populous would lose their shit if they didn't have "king." What a terrible decision. The real triad were supposed to be the House, Senate, and Judiciary. Nobody's surprised when there president goes off the rails, but losing the judiciary to radicals? That's fucked. We're fucked.
Yeah, I know my interpretation of what the founding fathers really intended doesn't have much to back it up. Still, the Supreme Court now going against all previous courts and outright ignoring precident is really, really fucked up.
Americans talk shit about the French but they would have had the gallows out by now
I don't know if France is the example to go by right now.
You mean France, as in the country that is spiraling quickly into Fascism? That France?
Guillotines
Really. How could you whiff on that OP?
Let’s riot
I cannot legally endorse this statement.
Burning down the system and starting over seems like the best option to me. America has been fundamentally flawed since its inception.
