    Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

      Nah, turns out you don’t actually have to change it at all. If nobody is willing to enforce the rules laid out in the Constitution, then it’s just a worthless scrap of paper that means nothing. He can just do whatever he wants now, nothing matters.

        Every child knows a rule only counts if a) you’re caught breaking them and b) you’re punished for breaking them.b

      and ignore them because they’re incapable of enforcing anything. Turns out half of our representatives are nazis and the other half are spineless cowards.

      The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don’t agree with either of you.
