    What happened to states rights? Wasn’t that the rationale of getting rid of RoweVWade? Oh yeah, that was another lie. Of course it was.

      Conservative beliefs in “state rights” are just as valid as they were when the Dredd decision was made. They want maximum cruelty to be imposed on the greatest number of people and will use whatever power they have to inflict it. Maybe today that’s state rights while tomorrow it will be federally mandated law. Whichever path allows them to exercise their will over others is the one they will choose in the moment. Every other principle they will waffle and flip flop over, but they are always consistent on maximizing their ability to hurt innocent people.

      You’ve hit the nail on the head! States rights only apply to (insert conservative ideology here). It’ll be interesting to see if book banning continues to be allowed as it’s the perfect example of a law that shouldn’t be legal.
