Is there really nothing we can do about pulling this kind of horseshit in court? It would free up so much. We might not even have a Nazi for president in the next few days if our courts weren’t so backed up with meaningless cases/motions? I know it’s a slippery slope, but there has to be something.

They should hire you, this simple explanation could have easily replaced that entire article.
