    Cool. What of it then? I get it, but it doesn’t really mean anything if accountability is optional nowadays.

        They’ll just appeal it to the supreme court who will rule that actually it’s totally cool

          The absolute least we can do is force them to jump through the hoops. Like, I get that it feels pointless but it’s better than just giving up and letting them do whatever they want.

          They WANT you to feel like there’s no point so that you’ll give up. They want you to give up because that’s the easiest way for them to win. Why give them the satisfaction? They haven’t actually won yet, but even if I can never win I’ll won’t give up no matter how impossible the victory, and neither should you.

            Also it helps build up a solid case if shit goes to civil war, easier to get international aid if the list of things the feds have done is long and itemized. Also helps justify it to the population both within and without such anti trump territory.

          So we should give up, dig a hole and stick your heads in? I’m not a giving up sort of person. But if that’s your preference, go for it. smh
