and this is why people need to be informed of the ultimate legal loophole: the law is simply a collective agreement, if enough people make it clear to everyone else that they think the law is nonsense we can just change it regardless. It's not a magic document enforced by fae.
If the last few months haven't made that clear to people, maybe the next few years will.
One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:
If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.
If you convince 100 million people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.
I'm picturing "Mr Bill Goes to Washington" with some dapper wings.
