So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Iran moved as much as 880 pounds of enriched uranium to a secure location after Donald Trump announced that he was thinking about bombing their nuclear facilities. Too bad Donald Trump isn't as tight-lipped about secret military operations as he is about his taxes.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.
