Did you know the *18th* century was the *17* hundreds? Stupid and confusing, IMHO.

Maturity is accepting that none of the cool sci-fi things would be practical for an actual military even if they were technologically possible. A mech is just a tank that needs more cover and has more complex maintenance.

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.

Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:

181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military

In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

if someone tells you founding era judges didn’t have a role in adjudicating military affairs, what they’re actually telling you is they don’t know anything about the 18th century
