In reply to the discussion: If Line of Succession is Illegitimate (Provide Ideas for a Solution) [View all]Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)11. This is a message board where people exchange ideas and opinions.

You may not like them, but you make the assumption that there is only a Constitutional remedy to this. I don't make that assumption. Your points are opinions, as well, and that's fine, but you didn't have to come across as an asshole.
And we can focus on issues, too. Why do you assume that government can only do one thing at a time instead of doing things simultaneously?
"Oh geez" indeed.
