if I form— during The Purge— an agreement to commit a crime, is the conspiracy still illegal
-
also, just conceptually speaking, I think it would make a lot more sense if The Purge also temporarily suspended constitutional rights
because then the government isn't liable for allowing The Purge to begin with
-
-
because they’re under Purge safe harbor for the extremely dubious act of declaring The Purge to begin with
-
yeah the Constitution definitely has to be suspended, or else there is a separate amendment just to allow The Purge
-
Maybe this isn’t an Equal Protection violation, but Due Process come onpic.twitter.com/0SLnTwSdkJ

How can the federal government suspend the whole of state criminal law, come on
-
*adds 10th Amendment to list of constitutional problems with The Purge*
-
You’d have to get all fifty states to cooperate with the federal government in Purge-ing. Ha! Good luck with that.
-
Imagine any president trying to convince governors to sign on to The Purge.
-
Obama trying to talk red states into cooperating with The Purge. Nothing but accusations that it’s a ploy to take their guns away
-
though, like I said, if the Purge temporarily suspends constitutional rights as well...
-
you heard it here first. The Purge was really just a plot to secure gun control

@sarahjeong Where in the Constitution is there an affirmative duty on the gov't to protect people, other than the Guarantee Clause? -
@wonkinakilt i’m imagining due process / equal protection issues, though also i don’t think congress has the power to declare a purge -
@sarahjeong Congress certainly doesn't have the power to eliminate state crim law, yeah - that would require const amendment.
