Civics education in this country is fucking pathetic.
Yeah that's by design. Wouldn't want people doing something crazy like paying attention and trying to do something about the institutional cruelty. 🤔

I agree with you but there's no reason to believe that the people proposing blatantly unconstitutional courses of action are American. In fact there's no good reason to believe they're even arguing for this in good faith. There's a lot of a bad actors on the internet getting paid by various nation states to foment problems.
I tend to put commenters who won't accept that their plan is outside the bounds of the law into that second category. They KNOW what they're saying would cause serious problems if it was done but they keep repeating it. They act just like the Russian led MAGAts with the sole difference that they're pretending to work for Team Blue.

Oh of course! Sure!
I'm not American and I don't know how your whole complicated political system works. So if I ask if something can be done a certain way and it's not how it actually works in your system I simply MUST be a foreign bad actor trying to influence Americans to vote for Putin as international world overlord.
/S
You've been instructed over and over and over in this very topic how our system works and you ignore to continue pushing a plan that would have devastating and immediate consequences.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck odds are good that it's a duck.
It's some peak white moderation to think that there aren't already devastating and immediate consequences to simply passively accepting fascism to preserve "order". You'll croak about civics education while people are losing their lives due to a corrupt and illegitimate court being giving cart blanche to rewrite law.
Right....
Some of ya'll need to go back to Reddit with that kind of attitude.
I'm Canadian... not everyone on the internet is American.
I just thought the president had the power to sign an executive order or some shit like Trump did for a bunch of things.
You still have zero excuse. If you think the head of state of any liberal democracy can change the judicial system by fiat you don’t have the understanding nor mental horsepower to be reading about this instead of an introduction to government textbook.
Jesus Christ man. Will you calm down? What's with the insults?
This isn't Reddit. Take a chill pill for Pete's sake
Don't be insulted. Be better.
Look who's talking.
What are "two excuses you'll never hear from a Conservative"?
That's because it's much easier to roadblock things than implement them.
The GOP got their perjurous Justices confirmed, their tax cuts passed, their book bans, and the end of Toe V Wade. Seems like they are implementing just fine.
The book bans are happening at state level, not federal. Other than that, it's all been tearing down what's existing
That's not really implementing..... You left out every bit of context.
They waited and said no, we won't confirm Garland and then got the majority and pushed through a justice during an election.
They're ignoring laws and passing their own book bans that their now regressive Supreme Court is cool with.
And the end of Roe v Wade was accomplished at least in part but that same saying no and waiting.
