Even it true (and I’m sure that you’re right), are you seriously telling me that Roberts’ ragtag blob of clerks and security guards will overcome Trump’s FBI and Federal security apparatus?

Or is your point just a technical correction?

I don’t think that deputising a few people is going to disarm Donnie. Especially after their ruling that any “official acts” he makes are legal and legitimate.

He’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.

Judges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.

Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.

You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.

The supreme court doesn’t have a police force to enforce their rulings. JD Vance worked that out before the election. It relies upon the Federal government, as an institution, to follow it’s will. Then came MAGA and the LOLs will ensure.

No, you took a rhetorical statement literally.

I was conceding your point.

Not arguing that it wasn’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t have bought shit we couldn’t use?

There are 8 million lines of code in the F35 integrated computer system.

So, how the hell would anyone know one way or the other? Only Israel is permitted extensive independent testing and access to open custom design. All other countries must test systems on the US continent and have US oversight during testing.

During the 1960s, the Australian Army bought the Swedish 84mm Carl Gustaf rocket launchers. It was believed perfect for bunker busting. However, Sweden refused to sell us the necessary munitions because we wanted them for the Vietnam War.

If you don’t own the supply chain, you don’t own the weapon system.

Didn’t one of the space shuttles almost holed by a fleck of paint?
