I swear, y’all act all surprised at how powerful the bad guys always seem to get, but you’re so quick to destroy all conceptual limitations on government power when you think a good guy is wielding it (for the next couple years). How the fuck do you think you’re going to feel when it’s Joe Arpaio reading your well-considered briefs on the dictates of conscience WRT what the Constitution says? I’ll bet he thinks the SCOTUS will go his way any day now.
This is the jurisprudential equivalent of "you kids get off my lawn."
