The first thing to go down is the Courts when a country collapses.
Sadly, they don't matter and we don't listen to them anymore.
I was trying to think of the quote that went something like "this Nation and it's Constitution must be run by a religious, moral people...
For some reason I am having a total mental block on it tough.
Anyway, that quote if I could remember it is most apropos.
And down they're headed by "evading" the issue.
Good riddance to our courts. At best, they have been complicit at all levels in our demise.
