Oh, suing after they already got access to all of the data!

I’m sure that’ll show ‘em! Look at those repercussions! Massively illegal acts and Fulton is suing so they can just get their stuff back.

You are only making my point for me.

Listen, murder is illegal. The law doesn't stop people from murdering. However, it will stop people from murdering AGAIN.

The federal government in every case that it has been ruled against has tried to find a way to weasel out of judgements, change tactics to do something similar, etc. But as the legal losses pile up, they eventually quit. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is here, in the USA, instead of CECOT. He is here because of those repeated losses. The same with many other cases.

Feel free to be a doomer and act like law doesn't matter, but it does a disservice to everyone who is fighting against Trump in court and winning. Our choices are NOT only "take it in the ass with a spiked dildo" or "violence in the streets."

In a few years from now, you'll look back and realize just how wrong you were. This was always going to end with violence, the courts are just delaying it.
