Mass shootings like the one in Lewiston, Maine, in October are the product of the gun industry flooding America with military-style assault weapons.

      No it doesn’t. It just takes putting your political toadies in the seats. They just say whatever the fuck they want to say. It’s not an institution that means anything. Not any further than ‘they get to say whatever the fuck they want’ that is. Have you read their decisions? They’re barely even trying to pretend anymore. Why are you?

          I don’t think you’re being very present in our conversation. You’re not following very well.

          When did I say it wasn’t an institution? When did I say it wasn’t a branch of government?

          all it takes is a concerted effort to appoint judges who feel the way you do over a 50 year period of time.

          Oh there are much easier and faster ways to deal with them. Like for instance just ignoring them.

              sacred, should be respected

              that means anything

              That’s implied when you say “just ignore them.”

              No it isn’t

              You do NOT have the option of ignoring a branch of government defined by the Constitution.

              Yes you do. It’s been done before.

              Anymore than you can choose to ignore the Executive or Legislative branches.

              Yes fuck those branches as well but this is off topic

                  You should crack a history book before you start spouting off about how other people don’t know things. When someone tells you something has been done in the past, it’s kinda dumb to just spout off “that’s not how that works!” with such a smug, sophomoric attitude.
