I never know whether to laugh or cry at AOC's antics. Laugh because she is little more than a cartoonish caricature; cry because it astounds me that someone so radical was able to get elected to Congress. As you said so well, Marbury vs. Madison is foundational to American jurisprudence. I spent a lot of time on Marbury when I taught American government to my university students. I wonder if AOC missed that at Boston U or simply chooses to dispense with it for the sake of politics.
I think this entity just wants to make a name for herself on the left. I believes she thoroughly enjoys the power she currently perceives herself to have. Only time will tell on this one! I think the ego here is just 'full of itself'!!
Living in SoCal, where people openly display their regrets that the sniper missed or that vast amounts of money that rivals the GDP of small countries go missing with a yawn, I can't dismiss AOC's antics. Too many believe them. I listen to these crazy people every day. I fear Harris will climb into the presidency, and we will climb into a true free-for-all.
I fear you may be correct. Already the media are polishing her as a savior and visionary. I don't think she can hack it though -- she really doesn't have the capacity to think originally, especially on her feet.
I already see so much being rewritten, posts being taken down, etc. I am currently reading Karl Popper's book The Open Society and Its Enemies. George Soros wrote The Forward and, as an ardent admirer, named his organization after the book.( I am completely confused by the Forward as Popper was against Hegel and Marx. I assume I will understand by the end.) Reading his discussion of Hegel, one understands how we got here. The 'state' is the ultimate expression of humans, and thus humans are subservient to it. Truth is defined by the state for its use, not ours. And Hegel was an ardent proponent of inverting truths to obtain the ends desired by a strong state where the individual is submissive.

I expect she missed it, as an econ student.... She also appears to have missed econ.
LOL.

Surreal indeed..... It ends badly I fear.
