Ukraine has fired non-nuclear ICBM's which can only be operated with the help of US military and US satellites, so Putin has fired one back and had a clear "line in the sand" that nuclear powers entering the war means nuclear is on the table.
2 people wounded? buildings damaged but not destroyed? does not seem like an economical use of an ICBM.

- the powers and responsibilities of constables seem to vary greatly from state to state. Is that why you use the generic "get him on his oath"? Does constable here mean something close to "one in law enforcement with the oath below."
- The daily points are great but are there any books you recommend going deeper?
“I, _______________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of ___________________ of the State of _____, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State, so help me God.”
Posed the question to AI and this may just be the loophole:
The contradiction Gödel may have identified here is that the Constitution appears to rely on self-consistency for democratic continuity but lacks any intrinsic safeguard against a self-referential modification that would negate its own premises. Thus, Gödel’s concern may have been that the Constitution logically allows for its own undoing in a way that defies the democratic principles it is meant to uphold. This, for a logician, would constitute a true contradiction: a system that both guarantees democracy and allows for the abolition of democracy through its own rules.
This paradox—known in logic as a "self-amendment paradox" or "self-referential inconsistency"—suggests that the Constitution could theoretically enable an amendment that invalidates its own democratic principles or amends away the amendment power itself.
In logical terms, Article V allows the Constitution to be self-modifying, meaning it could alter the very conditions of its own existence. For example:
Scenario 1: Congress or a convention could amend the Constitution to prohibit any further amendments, thus contradicting the very nature of a "living" document.
Scenario 2: An amendment could be passed that eliminates all democratic processes, effectively installing a permanent authoritarian regime.
In both cases, the Constitution would simultaneously be both democratic (because amendments are allowed by democratic process) and anti-democratic (because the amendments could eliminate democratic processes).
