“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.” (Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823) “One single object… [will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation.” (Letter to Edward Livingston, March 25, 1825) Compare the following quote in Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address: “…The candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the government, upon vital questions, affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made, in ordinary litigation between parties, in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having, to that extent, practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”

@tinathesis @Ren_gmi Turns out making max bets and disregarding risk of ruin is not the most rational path, after all.

@Ffxivmarket Carried water for Obama and bragged about manipulating young and stupid reporters with lies to advance their political agenda. Very dumb and bad guy.

@degentradingLSD @DarkCryptoLord Also the issue with selling in batches/LPing out, even though it feels smart/efficient, is if you’re a big holder, the market will notice and adjust their behavior. It’s why FSH is actually a rational move often times.
