      The thing is- at least with SCOTUS justices- we can make absolutely anything illegal regarding them and they can just turn around and say, “fuck you, what are you going to do about it?” And the rest of the government says, “uh… nothing I guess?”

        I’ll tell you what we do. We turn all of Sunnyvale into an all-inclusive resort and casino, we charge at the door, and we all the liquor and free dope you want. Then we get those judge cocksuckers to come out and party with us so they think we’re cool, and we can pass any laws we want.

        It’ll fuckin work, I know it will boys. We just gotta come together and make er happen, like in the old days.

        It’s simple: stop going to court, paying taxes or supporting them in any way. Band together with like-minded people under new collectively agreed upon laws you actually will follow. Train yourselves to fight for when the thugs of the old system inevitably do come at your door. Buy land and set up intentional communities, and start putting money toward buying land in the former counties to regain control. Bribe officials in the old counties to facilitate this.

        That’s the bare minimum of what we should be doing right now, honestly. The bare, bare minimum.

        Really we should be banding together and overthrowing those old governments.

    Genuinely how is this not considered illegal in the US?
    If you tried this in most parts of Europe you’d be charged for committing bribery

      It’s illegal.

      Enforceable is the issue here because the people being bribed are the same ones that would ultimately decide any criminal appeals and they, themselves, have no accountability or oversight.

    Anyone else remember the “activist judges” bullshit. It’s always, always, always projection with these fuckers.

      Ding ding ding. If it comes out of their mouth it is because they did it already or are planning to do it. It is like that employee at work who accuses someone of stealing so no one will notice that they are the thief.

    Did the conservative judges rule that money equal speech and corporations are people? So the richer you are, the more speech you have and the “poors” are free to use all the money they have-- oh the poors have no money? Then they have no speech.

    Bad ruling for democracy. Shame!
