But our contract, I mean, our Constitution is a contract.
And it's not all that long.
It's one of the incredible things when I teach constitutional law in law schools.
It's not that big.
The First Amendment, not that long.
The Second Amendment, just a sentence or two.
The Fourth Amendment of unreasonable searches and seizures.
You go through the various amendments, the Tenth Amendment on states' rights.
You go through these constitutional provisions, and they're based, though, on the good faith that people go along with these things.
And the moment the Supreme Court makes a rule in absolute immunity,
when even royalty in the UK doesn't get absolute immunity, right?
And our constitution was a reaction against kings and objection to it until we abolish absolute immunity, until we hear
find ways to abolish this concept of this unitary executive who can do whatever they want without checks about no country is going to think that America can ever be a long term partner.
So they've moved on.
That's it.
It's done.
