And of course the Dems never codified it
Forgive my ignorance here but what does “codify” even mean? I’m sure the criticism of democrats here is warranted (I am not defending them at all), but when the fascists are pissing and shitting on every law and social norm we have, all this legal jargon just sounds like nonsense.
There is always a card up a sleeve, some antique law cited. The “No-Takesies-Backsies Clause” was overturned because some dickhead found the “Writ of Nuh-Uh”. It’s was written on piece of parchment and is barely legible. It conveniently fell out of a dusty old tome in the Library of Congress last week and yet somehow it carries more legal weight than any other document on Earth.
Even worse, now the Republicans in a lot of cases are seemingly just skipping all the preamble and just going straight to the “fuck you please die” part.
Liberals constantly mock SovCits but their understanding of how power works is fundamentally identical.
They literally believe they can stop the government from doing what it wants to do by going into a special building and saying the right words in the right order.
The exact opposite judgements can be reached with the exact same level of support from whatever sacred ancient slaver document they want to cite. It’s constitutional if you like it and unconstitutional if you don’t.
