No, it's a plan for how to quickly replace career administrators to pack the government with loyalists, cripple education and sprinkle in indoctrination, reverse key rights for women, and just generally subvert democracy to keep conservatives in power even though the population is interestingly progressive

It's written for a president to put into place in their first year, hence "2025" when the next president will be sworn in

That doesn't fix the problem though - the legal system is extremely messy. It changes over time and rulings can be flat wrong, or the decision can be undercut by a legal argument coming at it from another direction

For example, citizens United changed campaign finance laws by reclassifying it under the first amendment. That decision means that any law limiting the ability for corporations to campaign for a candidate violates the first amendment, and could be struck down as unconstitutional. It was a bad decision, but congress doesn't have the authority to override it (by design)

The supreme Court shouldn't be writing things in stone - that's congress's job. The court is responsible for handling conflicts between laws, and the law changes over time. Their decisions are also contextual - they're based on the legal arguments presented in each case, so instead of repealing Roe they could've instead ruled that the state can forbid doctors from performing abortion without contradicting the previous decision

The fact that they're overstepping and using this role to legislate is an entirely different issue - they have way too much individual power and almost no oversight. Their decisions need to be challenged more, not less

Unfortunately, it's a very necessary power, because our legal system is absurd. As a child, I asked to see the book that has all the laws I have to follow - it doesn't exist, because we learn the laws through rumor. We don't even know how many laws there are, we just kinda forget ones we stop enforcing and pass new ones

The supreme Court of a century ago was pretty different - both common sense and the law change over time. For example, Citizens United was a shit ruling, debatably an actual existential threat to humanity, or where we became the worst timeline. That should not be written in stone forever - a system like that is begging to collapse

Or for a more historical example, sodomy laws or martial rape come to mind

Just to put this in context:

There's only so many ways to turn a bunch of files into one - mainly, you stick them back to back. Easy.

Then, there's an infinite ways to compress that file... You could come up with you own method, but what good is that? It's better and smarter to use a format already supported by your users

So of course most bundles are the same archive type under the hood. Everything from backups to installers - you shouldn't be inventing new formats without a damn good reason

I wouldn't...I like the struggle. It's only fun to dominate when it feels earned, I want to feel like I'm playing at my best more than anything

A smarter person would have used a fake SSN then claimed success when it never worked
