the PR constitution was written for a fricking military outpost. back when rexford tugwelled it all up, governor was still an appointed post.
it's "governor general" in the military sense.
their license to trample rights is outlandish.
i mean, you ever read ley 75?
it's purportedly a set of code to "protect distributors." in reality, it granted monopolies in perpetuity to a small clique of boriqua aristocrats who got fat and rich off it.
Forgive the systemic ignorance in this comment, but then why doesn’t someone elevate it to a US federal court of appeals when they lose here? It’s not like the courts here are the final arbiter. Push the damn thing all the way to SCOTUS if necessary.
As to your other question, I haven’t read Ley 75 because I can’t find anything in English and I’m not bilingual, and trying to find a competent translation website or app is impossible.
That would also probably explain why I didn’t know that they’ve been losing in court, because I can’t watch the news here, for the same reason.
they have.
they keep losing in court.
