Turns out all you need is a Supreme Court majority on your side and you can wipe your ass with the Constitution.

      When you feel powerless and don’t know how to fix a situation it’s only natural to want to do something, that makes perfect sense. But it’s worth remembering, that there is no situation so bad that you can’t still make it worse. Sometimes when all your options are bad, waiting to act is in fact the correct course of action.

      More Americans died in the civil war than in any other American conflict. This is despite the increasing lethality of weaponry over the years, despite the scope and length of wars like WW2. Following the war much of the country was left in ruin, the economic cost was staggering, it took decades to recover.

      My point is, starting a war is a bad idea. Sure, at least it’s doing something, but it’s doing the wrong thing, it’s the opposite of helping.
