If you bribe five members of the Supreme Court, the Constitution can be whatever you want it to be.
Sure, and Denmark might sneak attack Maine. But what’s the point of wild speculation.
You're acting like the landscape of law hasn't changed and been affected drastically by the purchased Supreme Court justices. That has literally happened. It's not a hypothetical or speculation.
I’m not. But this particular example is so beyond the pale for everyone, that it simply isn’t going to happen.
