    They’re hoping to find something like this in some obscure legal document

    Amendment XXIX: Citizen Financial Autonomy

    Section 1: The right of citizens to exercise full autonomy over their financial affairs, including the issuance of checks from accounts deemed dormant or closed by the account holder, shall not be infringed.

    Section 2: Financial institutions and authorities shall recognize and honor the transactions made by citizens in accordance with their financial autonomy, regardless of the status of the account from which the transaction originates.

    Section 3: No law or regulation shall be enacted that impedes or restricts the exercise of financial autonomy by citizens, provided such actions do not violate other provisions of this Constitution or existing laws.

    And then it will magically force people into accepting bad checks

      Well, shit, you just made their dreams come true. If you just copy/pasted that they’d go out and write so many bad checks you don’t even know

      Really what they’re saying is “show me where it says I can do this.”

      But it says they can’t do it.

      “No, I mean show me something I can point to that says I can.”

      But they can’t.

      “No, no, no. You don’t understand, I want something that says I can.”

      Etc.
