- throwaway287391 6y agoIt’s a good question — if anything I’d think that a promise is revocable by definition. If there’s no trust involved it’s not so much a promise as...collateral, or something?
- ponker 6y agoI mean, the only reason that Congress can revoke a promise to the Creek Indians is that they have a stronger military. It's not about justice, it's just about strength.
- mrorbitman 6y agoI expect someday Congress with revoke the promise of a social security check, when the system can no longer stand on its own.
