Jackson's precedent created a constitutional crisis that haunted executive power for generations. But let's ignore history because "guns solve everything," right?
And no, SCOTUS doesn't need secret police when they have the entire administrative state's inertia. The machine keeps running because people show up, file papers, and follow procedure—not because someone's pointing weapons.
Eh? Do you think I was agreeing with Jackson (or in this case Trump), or condoning it?
It's just history.
Speaking of history, it seems like you need to learn some things (or refresh your memory). Because this is exactly how society has always worked. The majority of human civilization has been this.
Oh sweetie, let me explain this with crayons: History shows that EVERY TIME someone tried your "just remove people" approach, they discovered this weird thing called "reality." You can't run a modern state with just guns and machismo.
You know what happened when your heroes tried that? The trains stopped running. The power grid failed. The sewage backed up. Because—surprise!—it turns out those boring bureaucrats actually DO things. Important things. Like making society function.
But please, tell me more about how you'll "physically remove people." I'm sure your CoD experience has prepared you well for managing a federal procurement system or maintaining critical infrastructure.
This isn't your high school parking lot. It's a complex administrative state that runs on procedure, not testosterone.
