This court is completely captured by capital interests and right now Trump controls that space completely, so he controls the court.
The fact that Trump controls the capital class, is nationalizing buying stocks while picking winners & losers, and insider trading without any repercussion should really illustrate how weak our economy actually is. A robust economy with bustling industries would not be so easily captured by one man to the point of the entire federal apparatus is bending to his stupid whims and gold fantasies. Markets are moving up and down like a see-saw depending on what he posts that day. This could be the weakest America has ever been in modern history, complete with emptying out weapon stockpiles and oil reserves for no discernable good reason. Even Canada is like NOPE. We'd rather deal with anyone else than this dying corpse, even if they have to gnaw their own arm off.

Americans are going to have to move the capital back to Philly to escape the tacky buildings

The Old Statehouse In Connecticut is a museum since the state uses the new statehouse, Faneuil Hall in Massachusettes might need some converting but it could be used.

We have the original MA State House, which is a museum too. It was the home of the Massachusetts Bay Colony's Government.
On July 18, 1776, two weeks after the United States declared independence, the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony to jubilant crowds
(from wiki)
Sounds like a good place to start over from. Its where it all started.

Might as well let the general public tear down Supreme Court Building in D.C. “for renovations” as well after having them demolish the newly-built ballroom à la the Berlin Wall.
Something tells me a couple 100,000 people with sledgehammers will be faster at tearing it down than any injunction is at stopping them, once their momentum gets going.
