    I’m still pretty certain that arming it is just an attempt to bypass oversight because it becomes a matter of “national security”.

      On the plus side, it’s probably going to be run by AI, which is hackable, and could easily be reprogrammed to see him and anyone in his admin as a threat and just wipe them all out.

      I’ve watched dystopian sci-fi and have learned the lessons they meant to teach. I would not create the torment nexus only to be tormented.

    So absurd to suggest it needs to be armed, and with the excuse that it would be a terrorism target to boot, just like the Statue of Liberty scaremongering.

      This is aimed at some opinions that Kavanaugh wrote that suggest that maybe Kavanaugh won’t second guess any “national security” rationale for this arch, no matter how flimsy it is.

      Kavanaugh is often what passes for a swingy vote on the court nowadays.
