William B Travis on Nostr: I didn't say the constitution in some sense doesn't make us difference, I'm saying it ...
I didn't say the constitution in some sense doesn't make us difference, I'm saying it has no power to stop people from ignoring it and doing illegal things. And there really isn't a way to hold those people accountable for ignoring it when they do. Congress doesn't do anything. SCOTUS can only rule and not enforce. POTUS is where most of the offenses are happening. There are still people rotting in jail for Jan 6 who haven't been charged with crimes.
The Constitution is meaningless if our beloved and sacred institutions refuse to recognize it and the people who care about it are too weak to confront them.
