    Eh, not to be ‘that girl’ but the context of this article doesn’t seem to match the title. What he’s saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it’s activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.

    His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information…so the government needs to keep paying them.

    Ragebait?

    “Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.

      Thanks for the additional context, but that’s a dumb argument. There is no constitutional ground for these strikes, with or without his bullshit product, because there is no war. They’re committing straight up murder which is (still) illegal.
