You could be a lawyer and I wish you were a judge. It's too bad we have to depend on the political leanings of a few judges. Think back to George W Bush winning by one vote in 2000. 150 millions votes and it got down to one judge probably flipping a coin to decide. I Pray for caring judges when it comes to decency and compassion. Thanks for your civics lesson. Donnie never studied it or did the 2025 jerks. Pray for wise lawyers.

Can you imagine how different the world would look were it not for that judge’s vote? I mean, climate change alone would be so different if Al Gore had been our president back then. And what about the drummed up waste of a war? How would Al Gore have responded to 9/11/21?! Ugh…butterfly effect and sliding doors…if only…

Yep one judge can change the world for good or bad. 637 people voting for Gore instead of Ralph Nader in Florida changed the outcome.

Critical information, if nothing more it will educate chronic civilian blame throwers; it gives a very clear picture of how the legal system really works.

Lots of good information, but at least to me seems like there will be no consequences for anything the felon does, the lower courts have no power to actually stop him, the supreme Court aren't likely to do anything other than support him or punt, and the Senate will never get the 60 votes to impeach him successfully. Not really sure what can be done when a president has unlimited power and no accountability.

This is an informative read I appreciate.

There are a couple minor typos which the author should address to make this solid writing complete.
