#1 It says right on the note that the fiat money belongs to the Federal Reserve, not to you. Wanna hold on to your assets? Good luck...

#2 So how did Kavanaugh fail?

He applied the Due Process part of the constitution from the 14th amendment,

I don't see a failure there - he produced a right ruling with a valid constitutional basis.

I agree that Justice Thomas use of the "Privileges and Immunities" clause is possibly more fundamental, but this doesnt mean Kavanugh "flunked" on this ruling.

Didn't matter to the case, per Gorsuch.

Getting your panties in a wad over originalist virtue signaling is just the kind of self righteous moral preening nitwittery I expect out of Reason.
