Has the government's right to mow down civilians with helicopter-mounted machine guns been tested in the Supreme Court lately?
That's where there absolutely is room for debate.
This argument can apply to literally anything.
- skissane 2y agoIt is different though. There are law journal articles debating whether the Impoundment Control Act is constitutional. And that isn’t a new thing, here’s one from 1990: https://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?handle=hein.journals/umkc58&div=15&id=&page= https://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?handle=hein.journals/... There’s a big difference between a law for which there have been longstanding serious scholarly objections to its constitutionality, and a law whose constitutionality has never been questioned in any serious forum
- llamaimperative 2y agoReally? Because SCOTUS actually ruled the President very well might be immune from any criminal repercussions from mowing down civilians from a helicopter-mounted machine gun. Seems like there’s at least “a debate” to be had.
