15. Far too much ink/pixels are spilled by people writing what the law says, or

what the Constitution says, as if that is determinative or binding. It is not. The only thing that is determinative is the wants/preferences of the six RW pieces of shit on SCOTUS. They say up is down, in is out, left is right, etc all the fucking time. Unless at least two of those turds want to say up is up, in is in, left is left, etc in any given case, the text of the law or Constitution and precedent and history and logic don't matter at all.

The only thing which determines court outcomes is power, and fascistic white Christian nationalists have it.
