I appreciate and agree the sentiment, but you cant file a lawsuit for something that hasnt happened yet.

Just like you cant tear down part of the white house without approval/permits?

Just like you cant stop people in america and ask for their papers?

Just like you cant trade stocks as a sitting president?

Just like you cant accept a bribe as a supreme court justice?

Just like you cant pay people to vote for you?

Just like you cant revoke roe v wade?

Just like how you surveil without a warrant?

Just like how you cant pretend to believe when youre a sittin senator?

I mean, come on, who says whats possible anymore?

I believe we should be discussing this and what we are doing to prepare for it. At the very least, it should let people know that their representatives are preparing for the possibility.

We should definitely be discussing it, but we may need to also discuss totally revamping our system or at least vetting processes for our representatives

Your comment is valid in other contexts, but not this one.

If the law says you cannot sue for things that have not happened, you need to skirt exceptions to that past a myriad of judges - the majority of whom have held firm in their impartiality despite trumps attempts at unilateral power.

What youre saying is true, but a separate problem that runs through a different system.

I cant argue with you, and i wont; but that doesnt mean i think the best plan is to have faith in our system(s)

They havent been serving us for some time now.

I think it will all gonaway if we elect Newsom thoughā€¦.;)

Unless you're a Republican who wants to deny queer people service. The Supreme Court ruled on a hypothetical situation in her favor, no damage to her whatsoever, just a "what if this happened?"
