@heidilifeldman I’m sympathetic to this approach, and it’s a good legal argument, but ultimately it will still depend on a majority of the Supreme Court agreeing with it (“as a a matter of law”)—and isn’t that exactly the problem? So sure, make this legal argument, but also do hearings and use whatever other powers Congress has, please, because there’s no magic solution.

@inquiline Huh. I have some ideas that there might be regulations around human bridges and risk that might factor in to this, but it really seems like that kind of clash shouldn't be hard to resolve in reality. I'm intrigued by the security really seeming focused on preventing humans crossing (for liability reasons?) and ignoring all those pipes outside the fence--i.e., there doesn't seem to be an infrastructure protection issue, just a req to stop humans sharing that crossing.

@inquiline Yeah, pretty silly stuff, but annoying enough to process with that I upgraded that account to a block after reading through it. It's just not worth the mental effort to disentangle the logical fallacies in those posts in order to get to anything worthwhile, even with the bit of a laugh it also generated!
