adrian is so cool because his understanding of the federal government is basically turning the constitution into the final boss of a JRPG

Adrian is a special case. Check what Harvard hired him to teach. Hint: it wasn't Catholic integralism. Extra hint: it starts with "administrative" and ends with "law"

That is core Christianity. Indeed. The first people the Catholic Orthodoxy persecuted when they got the power of Rome were other followers of Jesus, They, who celebrated his life rather than his death.

The funniest thing about the braindead libertarian discourse is the SEC is so structured because corporate America want it like that. They don't want to have to go through three sets of beurocracy to get an answer. It's only a problem if you don't accept the right of the state to make rules.

That this is precisely where the Trumpist ideology aligns with libertarianism should not be lost on anyone. Both libertarians (living in their mom's basement) and America's oligarchic billionaires alike think they should be unfettered by bothersome govt regulation.

No, to be isomorphic to God the SEC & similar regulatory agencies must be abolished. The only government activity the Divine breathes into is law enforcement, military, & road building
