 You cannot basically tell the US government to go fuck itself and that you’re gonna do what you want, especially when it is outside the law it’s not gonna end well and I don’t know who doesn’t know this today

 And it’s not about me caring it’s about me being logical and realistic. This is not the case. I want them to set a precedent on and they will, which is gonna make things even worse, so yeah, I’m not happy with what they did here.

 Right right because the loyalists of the American Revolution are the ones who brought this out and are going to hear the case and make the judgment. you can say whatever you want about how things are supposed to be but clearly you don’t have a clue what they really are and how things actually work
