kings suck but it turns out the machine of mammon is capable of incorporating and destroying so much more of society than the strongest king could ever dream unfortunately that machine already exists and changing from presidents to kings would do nothing to it, only the immortal science can provide us with a weapon capable of its destruction

In the distant past, when humanity was still in its infancy, small communities dotted the landscape, each struggling to survive in a world that was as beautiful as it was perilous. Within these communities, there emerged certain individuals, known as "big men," who possessed the strength, charisma, and wisdom to unite their people and lead them towards a better future. These big men, though not yet kings, were the precursors to the monarchs of later ages. They rose to prominence through their own merits and abilities, rather than through inheritance or divine right. They proved themselves through their skills in hunting, warfare, and diplomacy, earning the respect and loyalty of their followers. It was in the hearts of these early leaders that the seeds of kingship were first sown. They recognized the need for order and structure, for a way to tame the wild impulses of their people and bring about lasting peace and prosperity. In the absence of a formal government or legal system, these big men acted as the de facto rulers of their communities, arbitrating disputes, organizing collective efforts, and ensuring the welfare of their people. Over time, the power and influence of these big men grew, as did the size and complexity of their communities. As the challenges they faced became more significant and varied, it became clear that a more formal system of governance was required. Thus, the institution of kingship was born, taking its cues from the successful leadership of the big men who had come before. The people chose kings for their abilities to protect and guide them, to maintain order and ensure their survival in a world that was fraught with danger. Kingship offered a sense of stability and continuity, a promise that the legacy of the community would endure for generations to come. In its purest form, kingship embodied the qualities that people admired in their leaders: courage, wisdom, and a deep sense of responsibility for the well-being of their subjects. It was a system that aimed to bring out the best in both the ruler and the ruled, fostering a shared sense of pride, loyalty, and purpose. Joe Biden is not, needless to say, the inheritor of that kingship.

The SCOTUS doesn't even have a way to enforce their rulings. Other bodies have to do it for them. So if the SCOTUS decides something is unconstitutional absolutely nobody has to care.
