mtswThere is no "law" anymore as long as the GOP's stolen majority controls the Supreme Court. They will just blindly assert their power to run our country until that power is challenged https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/2/28/23618985/supreme-court-student-loan-forgiveness-biden-nebraska-education-brown
The Democratic plan to deal with this, just kinda hope to never lose another election until a couple conservative justices die while Dems control the Senate, is so obviously doomed it's hardly worth commenting on. Laughable and pathetic way for our ability to self-govern to die, real late-Byzantine Empire shit
Clinical Rawlsian@mtsw I can't remember where I read this or who said it, but the end of great empires is most often not the result of barbarian invasions or natural disasters or plagues. Rather, empires fall when the state loses the ability to constrain the ambitions and desires of wealthy and powerful elites.
