      Well here’s the connection - John Wilkes Booth famously shouted “sic semper tyrannis” whilst fleeing the scene after shooting Lincoln, having killed the “tyrant” himself. Richmond, Virginia, of course, was the capital of the Confederacy, so there’s a bit of irony (or maybe it was purposeful?) spliced in.

Because of this video and the Texas bit, I looked up Missouri’s state motto. The state motto is “Salus populi suprema lex esto” which translates into “Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law” Let me go laugh myself into a comma because clearly we wrote that down because we thought it sounded good, not because we ever intended to enforce it.
