So, if tRump can ignore a 9-0 SCOTUS order, can we not pay our IRS bill?

Mine is quite sizable this year, but the rule of law seems to be non-operative.

What’s good for the goose…

If laws don't matter for the government, do they matter for anyone? As some judge recently said, it's asking for trouble.

that some people can find their ways around the law. It used to require some time and a good deal of money to manipulate the system, but now it is the system which has been appropriated. I paid my taxes this year, as I did last year, and as I will next year. I don't think it will save me if the powers that be decide I am to be sent to a hellhole in El Salvador, but honorable men pay taxes. Or so I've been taught.

And I don't think Trump and his friends will be around forever. It's quite likely they are neutered in less than 2 years and gone by January 2029.

I am not confident we will ever have an election again in America. These states may not be united much longer, I fear.
