    ‘This rule’ being the 14th amendment? The one in the constitution? We should just ignore it so that the bad guys don’t try to use it illegitimately when we know they will anyway?

      “This rule” being the judicial decision that invokes the 14th amendment.

      We should just ignore it

      You’re free to do as you please, but it won’t matter unless you’re one of the Big Nine.
