It's bewildering seeing Smart Takes like 'not enforcing the Constitution is good bc Trump should be beaten at the ballot box: vote!' when the whole reason we're having this conversation is because we *did* vote, Trump *was* beaten, & he didn't give a damn!

Why don't people just crowd fund your own supreme judges? It works for Trump Why not the american people?.

obviously remembering 2000 when the supreme court decided not stopping the count would delegitimize the election

That is all true. But the takeaway is still make sure everyone you know is registered to vote. Then make sure they vote.

Every time I see “this is fine we just need to defeat him at the ballot box!” I feel like scooping my eyes out and throwing them into the ocean.

Exactly this. Lost and then tried to take the win anyway. F**k him and those that enable him.

This is giving “aid or comfort to the enemies” of the American Constitution as is itself a breach of the 14th Amendment. Where are the 2nd Amendment people when the Constitution and American democracy is under threat? Time to impeach/prosecute the SCOTUS lap-dogs.

“Only we can save us! By voting” See here I thought we were a representative democracy where we voted for people to do their jobs and uh yeah they literally haven’t and every institution is absolutely useless.

I would support a constitutional amendment that just renames the court as the "Big Court" or "Main Court" because it never should have been called "Supreme."

Well hey, if we're nixing the 14th amendment due to "The Will of the Voters!!!", then let's nix the 22nd amendment too. After all, if "The Will of the Voters" trumps (sorry) the US Constitution, there are a WHOLE LOT of voters who would LOVE to cast another vote for Barrack Obama for POTUS!!!

They’re exhausting… it’s like, “we did… we mobilized, we did our part” and institutions are like, “yeah, we didn’t like the result— time for a do over”

Even recognizing that a lot of this is desperate and somewhat understandable cope, it still make me absolutely nuts whenever I hear it.

The people voted! They ratified the 14th amendment! We already said a guy like Trump cannot run for president. But the constitution only counts when its convenient for Republicans.
