    I didn't say "having a High Court is moot". I said if the outcome was predictable, it WOULD BE moot/pointless.

    But I understand what you are saying. You'd still need that "rubber stamp" of confirmation.

    ...but in the end, that's all it would be: a rubber stamp.

    Rubber stamps are not conducive to a democracy. That's how we got #JimCrow in the early 1900's (and how we are seeing #JimCrow2.0 under T****.)

  4. The #TrumpRegime is not going to let go of building this perverse American Führerbunker.

    Whether Trump, the man, is alive or dead, I don't see the Oligarchs, their political and corporate proxies, or MAGA cult he inspired peacefully surrendering power, suggesting to me, a darker motive for building the Führerbunker.

    Like Charlie Kirk, a martyred Trump would be an even more useful idiot for the powers arrayed around him now against the American people and our estranged former allies.
