Our constitution was always substantially a botch, and now we see that it produced the kind of power-glutted Supreme Court that the anti-Federalists predicted from the get-go. We need not abide by the constitution's rules for fixing the constitution's failings.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Everyone is being fleeced by health insurers & yet the political debate has been narrowed to just Dems demanding more subsidies for their insurance donors & the GOP trying to throw everyone off whatever meager coverage anyone still has.
It’s a total disgrace & shows how deep the corruption runs.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
