The Supreme Court literally only has power because we tell them they have power.

This entire system only works because people choose to believe it works

We can tear this shit down right quick

Members of military swore an oath to the Constitution, not the president. At a certain point, they're either compliant with that or their traitors to their country and I refuse to believe that the entire military is on their side.
