In law school, I once wrote a paper arguing the legal viability of reinstating privateering to aid in the war on drugs. I did it as a joke.
I am not enjoying the timeline where stupid jokes I made in law school become actual US policy.

OMG we're doing letters of marque?!?
Isn't that like one of the classic examples of dumbshit Congressional powers in the Constitution that no one would be stupid enough to actually use?
But really, we have a Congress that has abdicated nearly all of its powers, but wants to empower vigilantes?!?
