Interesting. I continue not to give a shit about the constitution.
The US is the only country I know of that fetishises it’s constitution to this extent. Most everywhere else it’s just an old document, but it seems like us lawmakers treat it like some demonic pact that has to be inscrutably followed
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.
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
