What I think it that normalizing political violence is extremely dangerous. That it will inevitably be turned back against the very people who advocate for it. And that people who advocate for it must have slept through history class.

I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree.
Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower.
At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes.
The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.
There is no Constitutional right to have the government enforce your contract.
The right to petition the government for redress of grievances is enumerated in the First Amendment
The Contracts Clause has nothing to do with enforcement by the courts.
The Contracts Clause prohibits states from passing laws to prevent one of the parties to a contract from enforcing their rights in court, which is exactly what the moratorium did.
The "Reign of Terror" is so called because the revolutionary government literally adopted "terror" (as in murdering people who disagreed with them) as an official government policy.
History shows otherwise.
