Let's learn that nothing is written in stone. Republicans have shown us time and again that there are no laws (constitutional emoluments, federal election, campaign finance, etc.. add to that tools of the law -subpoenas... Congressional or otherwise... the list goes on and on.) that they will not violate in letter and spirit to maintain their death grip on the people of this country. It is understood that, as a society, we need the framework of law to function cohesively. However we cannot allow ourselves to be tied up in knots and not do what is needed to protect ourselves and those most vulnerable among us from what amounts to tyranny.
What they did to the people of Wisconsin during the election was unconscionable and blessed by the right wing majority on the Supreme Court. Republican judges upholding the republican agenda.
Chattel slavery, Jim Crow, etc. were enshrined in the laws of this land. That changed -because we the people made it change.
