      Checks and balances!*

      *The checks and balances have now been replaced with criminals and pedophiles. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    “Even assuming that the IGA comports with Article II, Plaintiffs’ inability to perform their duties for 30 days is not irreparable harm. Moreover, if the IGs were reinstated, the President could lawfully remove them after 30 days by providing the required notice and rationale to Congress.

    The “irreparable harm” is that the president is being allowed to break the law without consequence. Reinstate them, and if he wants to fire them again, make him do it.

    Do the courts not see how continuing to declare this man guilty but impose no consequences is begging for vigilante violence? Perhaps once the violence is directed at the courts they’ll care.

      The whole idea is the erosion of institutions. Oligarchs need the government to be ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent. Destroying public service and replacing with private markets is one of the few areas of extraction left.

      An ineffectual, hypocritical, and incompetent government makes the unregulated company town run and the factories with slave labor seem better in comparison. They’re still worse, but that’ll change with enough anti-government in the government.
