re: #543 palomino

A hypothetical for which nation? Certainly not the US, where Congress doesn’t have the constitutional power to overturn a SC decision.

Things that cannot by definition happen aren’t hypotheticals. They’re delusional. Or just stupid.

Congress could offer a legislative fix or constitutional amendment. In which case the hypothetical example still stands; Would people be less likely to publically support a legitimate political campaign if there was the fear that they’d lose their job or be socially hounded for doing so? I think the environment of punishing political opponents is unhealthy for democracy.
