Yes, I mostly see people saying that laws don't matter because billionaires are beyond law at this point. Who knows, perhaps that's astroturfing by troll teams employed by billionaires to try and discourage the masses. As you said, they've already got plenty of lawyers to work on it from the constitutional end - including 6 of the lawyers on the Supreme Court.

Well, I don't see it brought up on HN all that often (once a month tops?), so we must hang out in different circles outside of here. Anyways, you have a good one.
