You're acting like the landscape of law hasn't changed and been affected drastically by the purchased Supreme Court justices. That has literally happened. It's not a hypothetical or speculation.

I’m not. But this particular example is so beyond the pale for everyone, that it simply isn’t going to happen.

If I had a few dollars for every time I heard “that’s so beyond the pale, it couldn’t possibly happen”, I would be buying some more RAM for my homelab right now.
