    Ah yes that bit in the Constitution about due process is just for show. Well I’m sure the police agree with you. You’d have a point, if we were having this discussion in China.

          I give up, you’re unreachable.

          Yes, cite exactly what I said happens and ignore literally everything I’m saying once again … because “governments are subservient to corporations” and China is a benevolent government no worse than the US except when it doesn’t suit your argument.

          So sick of CCP shills.

            Lmao you said they just do it. There’s literally an Anti Trust case going right now. So where’s TikTok’s day in court?

                If the US Govt decides to break up Apple or Google, they are no longer whole; that’s the end of it.

                There you go.

                  “They just do it” is not in there.

                  Perhaps the confusion stems from that fact that the US Court System is part of the US Government. Explicitly “If the United States congress gives power to the executive branch to break up a company, the executive branch decides to break up a company, and the company is unable to successfully appeal the decision in the courts, they are no longer whole; that’s the end of it.”

                    Lmao. Dig that hole deeper. Go look at that Anti-trust suit. Does that look like the government just did it and Apple is appealing? Due process means the government has to prove a case before it deprives you of property. Because we don’t live in a Dictatorship.
