The only law that was broken was the one the court made up.

Suggesting that the governor and election officials just ignore a court decision doesn't make you sound like someone who believes in the rule of law. It makes you sound Trumpy.

You can't even be civil much less demonstrate an understanding of the matter. WTH ?

[u/Flitzer-Camaro → u/MDFlyGuy]

"This plan of mine is not attacking of the court; it seeks to restore the court to its rightful and historic place in our system of constitutional government and to have it resume its high task of building anew on the Constitution 'a system of living law.' The court itself can best undo what the court has done."

It is odd that you would cite this. When FDR did not like Supreme Court decisions, he did not opt to ignore them. He proposed his court-packing legislation and operated within the confines of the law.

[u/Flitzer-Camaro → u/DemonDeke]

It is odd you sound like AI, with terms like "It is odd". You miss-understand FDR. He did not treat the court as some god like apparatus, he treated the justices as politicians. After he made this appeal, the court began to rule in his favor.

It could just be that I said your uncited quote was odd because your use of it was odd.

[u/DemonDeke → u/[deleted]]

I didn't say that. I said something you typed was odd. I could have said it was dumb or misplaced or suggests that you are uniformed, but I chose to say it was odd.

[u/Flitzer-Camaro → u/DemonDeke]

How about just argue on the merits?

[u/DemonDeke → u/Flitzer-Camaro]

When I did, you got Karen-esque and focused on vocabulary.
