        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

        What's the difference between a lawyer and a demon? Idk

        Both make pacts and contracts. Both honor the verbiage of the contract to the letter over the intent. Both will cost you dearly. Both generally only show up uninvited or when something bad happens. Both take benefit from others' misfortune.

        I can't tell the difference.

        And they love to cling to single amendments instead of the entire document, as it should be interpreted.
