One thing you mentioned there that holds people hostage is in regards to small business operating outside of their state's mandates. A business owner who refuses to comply will lose their license.

Choosing to operate your business can't be equated with lawfully/unlawfully protesting, looting or rioting because doing any of those things won't coat you your livelihood. So long as operating licenses are required, local and state governments have owners by the balls on this.

I see it everyday. Unfortunately, most of the "conservatives" are social liberals who think that people should be able to do whatever they want and have been taught that even suggesting people follow Christian values is on par with the Crusades. They will complain about how there is no prayer in school and how their pastor doesn't even quote from the Bible, but they keep sending there kids to school and don't go to a different church because muh 1980s libertarian neo-liberal values. They would rather be killed by invaders than go against what the government is saying.

No it's not. SCOTUS decided it had that power and granted it to itself in Marbury v. Madison. Jefferson himself spoke about how that's not the intent of the judicial branch and it's a dangerous concept. That courts grabbed power way before we were born and they keep grabbing it from the people because we let them.

Founders were great, but they never expected people to be kept artificially alive, or refuse to step down because they value their own agenda over the good of the country.

After the Boog, we need to draft a new constitution, based HEAVILY on the existing one of course, but without all the exploitable areas. Term limits written in, ability to recall judges by the people, stuff like that.
