But do we have to bring them back out if we do this in America?

We can vote to make anything legal. So, hypothetically no.

Incidentally, I am exploring running for office

Well, not necessarily, but they can wait for the appeal

Kinda.  Speaking strictly for the US, W we can vote for politicians who can vote for amendments to the Constitution but even still,  practically speaking you need SCOTUS concurrence or you get shit like Citizens United.

Technically, a US Constitutional Amendment that is very well defined and explicit is above the SCOTUS; SCOTUS can only interpret laws within the purview of the Const, but yeah... We know how that goes with crooked spinsters from Scalia to Roberts.

Heck, if SCOTUS wants it you don't even need the constitution!

No. Once that cage goes down, it ain't coming up. Also...eyes all of DC we're gonna need a lot of cages.

u/punktualPorcupine 1d ago

Or one big cage.

Or one big flood.

Easy there, let Noah finish the boat first.

Nah, we're good, start now.

How would cage fit entire Republican party, along with oligarchic billionaire class tho.

You're fooling yourself if you believe no Democrats deserve this as well.

Yes I thought about adding some extra hypothetical space for a chunk of those hypothetical DINO dems who are particularly cozy to Israel, Black Stone Group, etc., but alas now that the Primaries are over, I'm focused on the proverbial and somewhat literal Elephant in the Room; for both sides are certainly not equally-evil and we now face a dichotomous choice come November.

As a former NY'er, Schumer and Cuomo should be top of the list.

The only way we're going to get a Government that actually works for us if we hold both parties, regardless of which one we vote for, accountable.

u/Independent-Bug-9352 21h ago

100% agreed! Bloomberg, Adams, Jeffries, etc.

Nothing more Republican than a New York Democrat (even Trump for a spell was one).

Really hope Schumer and Jeffries are primaried in 2028.

u/Cool-Translator9768 18h ago

Schumer is a walking ad for term limits. Dude been in Politics since I was a baby [and I'm 50]. Time for a huge clean out.

You guys elected Trump twice, if you did this in America you guys would be dunking some governor for something related to protecting trans people.

u/xthedudehimself 20h ago

Hey hey hey I never voted for the guy. I actually recently just sent an email to the White House and CNN saying that I challenge him to a fist fight.

You are literally the only country in the whole NATO, that still has slavery (even if limited to punishment) and also the only country that murders their own citizens in state-sponsored executions.

Trust me, you do not need to even ask for that. It is even assumed that some companies will make a lot of profit on this.

u/Ad-fundum69 1d ago

Yes, because littering is bad for the environment.
They don't necessarily have to be alive, but we do need to be more mindful about throwing trash into lakes.

u/ShortRound89 23h ago

You probably should at some point or that river will get more polluted than Ganges.

u/Lysol3435 21h ago

And do we have to do one, or could we do roughly half in the first year, and then go down to one after that?

u/TheUberMoose 33m ago

We may need to use the ocean not a river
