    Imagine how hilarious it would be if the Supreme Court decided that their logic held up, and that evictions could continue but only for troops.

    The argument is of course complete bunk and wouldn't hold up in court, but the interesting thing is that the Third Amendment Lawyers Association has chosen the anagram "þALA". According to their website :

    The acronym "ÞALA" was chosen using the Old English character, the Thorn "Þ", which is pronounced as the "th" digraph... It also serves as a reminder that ÞALA will serve as a thorn in the side of anyone who attempts unlawful quartering.

    Pretty tough words from a bunch of clowns who have a ".weebly.com domain" lmao

    I've invented a machine. It detects if someone has passed the bar exam and then, if yes, kicks them in the head.

    By that same logic a landlord could legally deny housing to a solider for..... any reason at all.

    Perhaps basing our laws around a document written in the context of a war fought with muskets isn't the greatest idea

    I mean yeah that’s what it says in the constitution. Maybe we shouldn’t have it anymore.

    If only the American People's Liberation Army existed to give this argument weight.
