    Hah, there’s no way they get all that done in 180 days. I believe they would want to do it, but someone’s been hitting Hitler’s party drugs if they think Washington can move that fast.

        Congress isn’t captured and they do still need to actually amend the law on all of this. Or else the lower courts will tie it up for years. SCOTUS would have to abandon all procedure and decorum to get stuff moved quicker. And at that point the legitimacy is just gone.

            Well they should. Even Hitler cared about that. If you don’t maintain that veneer you tend to get tarred and feathered.

              Sure, that’s assuming this is an internal attack. However, if the goal is to cause our entire country to collapse as an attack from an external enemy, then making the Supreme Court appear blatantly illegitimate is a perfect way to do that.

              Aren’t you guys noticing how this Republican takeover emulates right-wing takeovers done by the CIA everywhere? The CIA didn’t just do this to attack leftwing stuff, they also did this so we could take resources from those countries. Aka there’s another country (or group of super wealthy leaders) trying to destabilize us and extract our resources/wealth here.

              Stop getting mad at the chess pieces and look at the chess player.

                Uhh. The CIA was considerably less subtle. They didn’t cause lost elections, they caused coups.

                And when the mob reacts to a loss of legitimacy you get Ukraine, not Argentina.

                  Yes, they caused coups by supporting right wing movements in those countries and making them appear like grassroots movements. Then when the right wing people take control, the country collapses. It’s Iran. Have you seen pictures of Iran before it got fucked? Women were going to school, it looked completely different.

                    Women were going to school under the Shah. I think you’ve confused the Iranian revolution with the CIA coup.
