It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

Hi guys! Kinda nervy, but I just posted my first essay on here! It’s an essay about my take on stereotypes placed on the African American community and where they came from. Please check it out if you’re interested, I would greatly appreciate it!
The Truth Beneath the Stereotypes: A Black Woman’s Reflection on Race, Reality, and Resilience
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

In kind it is accurate to say, “Where there is the spirit, there is obedience.” or “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15 Just a Thought

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

“…I had evoked what is my right, according to Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.”
This highlights the silliness of your rather amusing escapade, which I hope no one takes seriously. Article 1, Section 8 doesn’t highlight any citizen rights but describes powers of Congress. Congress has the authority to issue letters of marque but it was never your “right” to apply or receive one.
Hoist by your own petard. He emphatically has the right to petition for one.
I'm fairly sure you don't grasp the nature of our Constitutional Republic. Every citizen has the right to petition Congress. First amendment.
While no one ca stop you from asking for a letter of marque, you have no right to be heard on the matter, which is my point. And the first amendment covers “petition the government for redress of grievances”. I’m not convinced that a request to become a pirate falls into the grievance category.
Beyond that, the author frames becoming a privateer as his “right” which it very clearly isn’t.

You many not be convinced, but the Supreme Court is. It's been a long time since that phrase was interpreted, successfully, as the right to petition. Try and keep up. He is indeed entitled to become a privateer if the letter is granted. Just as you are entitled to own a machine gun IF you pass the requirements. Boring.
