    It's also really weird how the highest court in the land is supposed to be dedicated to interpreting the constitution and extrapolating whether the founding fathers would have supported or opposed something fucking 250 years ago. Other countries rewrite parts of their constitutions all the time, but in burgerland George Washington is a deity that supposedly knew it all.

    Also, America has the second oldest working constitution in the world which (only beaten by a microstate), which is kinda crazy for how young the country is

      It's very Warhammer 40k by worshipping the document equivalent of a headstone for centuries.

      What's even weirder is that the US Supreme Court was not even given that power by the constitution and just kinda gave it to itself in Marbury v Madison
