Just like a woman in California has a right to an abortion twhile a woman in Missouri does not. That was the entire point of state’s rights. Some state have rights for their citizens and others do not.

Unlesa you are a Republicunt who calls Abbotnfor apecial treatment because you dont want to die from your own laws. And got an abortion.
The whole point of states' rights from a historical perspective is to deny certain individuals (i.e. minorities & women) their rights.
And it's unconstitutional as f***. We have a federal government for a reason and right now it wants to have it both ways and it's not going to work that way.
All the Russians will get a pass if they buy a Rump condo
They only support states' rights in red states
Rubio is illegal then!!!
The USA might as well become 50 individual countries. Then those that wish could form an economic union, like in Europe.
Insanity!! Chaos and division
Some states been trying to limit women’s travel -they will try again with this shit
Madness is just putting it mild, so many ethnic minorities got duped into voting for rump. Now they are being deported.
Trigger warning on this, but this historical cartoon about the “states rights” debate has stayed with me since I first saw it in college. This is what “states rights” has always been about. The right to harm who we want.
Republicans are reversing who won the Civil War. "The South shall rise again" prophesy just became our reality.
We are truly back to Lincoln era issues.
Blue states need to keep all the money they generate. Stop the welfare to red states.
Does this ruling leave the 14th to a case by case review or district by district, circuit by circuit, until the Supes rule directly?
Its not exactly the same because birthright citizenship is expressly in the constitution.
Divide and Conquer
>>have 0 knowledge US Constitution (1-10 Bill of RIghts). Not rights our Constitution safeguards. OR >>un-Constitutional rulings Federalist Supreme Court Justices stripping rights guaranteed to the US people, while giving Trump/GOP >>>unconstitutional powers.
Freedom to practice any/NO religion, forbids ANYONE in US GOV from endorsing any RELIGION. Establishes the right to expresses NON-VIOLENCE-promoting ideas/believes. Media's ability to publish info without gov interference. PROTECTS the right of people peacefully gather. & >>>Trump/GOP/SC attacking
Those six justices belong on the SC about as much as my dog. They are so far up the felon's ass the rule of law is irrelevant. Hope karma delivers some payback to each one of them in some way. Corrupt AF.
Pretty soon slavery will b legal in the southern states again.The whole states’ right argument is bogus-it’s a shield 2 deprive certain people of their god given rights. This country never lived up 2 its stated ideals,but we had periods (like the 60’s) where we made progress. Now we’re regressing.
PUTIN WON!!!!!
Vote accordingly
State’s rights! But only for slave states.
SCOTUS said it needs to be a "Class Action". Boom! #immigration #TACO #NoKings #impeach #standup #useyourVoice #resist #refusefascism #stop47regime www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
Consolidate power in the north and west coast and leave these fascists to their own demise.
Birthright Citizenship is in the Constitution #14th
I read that somebody in FL got an award arguing that the constitution only applies to white people (I don't remember if 'people' includes women)
You know this might be correct. White male landowners, slave owners were the original forefathers and we had added or modified it to fit BUT the OG was not inclusive
I'm aware of the limitation at the time the constitution was written. This award was given at a FL law school in 2025 and the essay was about the current interpretation and scope of the constitution.
www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...
It is the limitations we have been expanding with civil rights. Alas, no equal rights. Make America great again dragging us back to the days before the civil war.
I could see guns as states issue but not personal rights and body autonomy.
Slowly becoming the Loosely affiliated States of America.
States Rights is about a State government being allowed to oppress its citizens without interference from the federal government. It’s about reducing the rights of individuals in favor of a state government’s rights.
This is MAGA America.
I find it funny that you think this is going to apply to any of us…we’re all screwed. It puts us ALL literally in jeopardy. What’s the difference if an immigrant and a US born citizen have a kid? In their eyes nothing, we are all expendable. Watch, anyone who doesn’t comply will now be deported.
It’s took them 60 days to get Garcia back, how long do you think it would take to get you and I back with this scotus?? Hint, we arnt coming back!
Time for CA to leave and be the 4th largest economy on the planet. NY/NJ should be close behind as the 5th.
Take MI with youuuu. Or maybe Canada can nab us up. They'll take better care of our lakes ~ 20% of the WORLD'S freshwater. I'm okay with either.
Don’t forget Washington state.
So the lesson here, is start an "underground railroad" for pregnant women, to move to states where their baby will be citizens.
I have a Niece who was born on a USAF base in Japan. Her father was a resident of California. So, is that how it works? Whichever state your parents were residents in when you were born? Or, are there just some states where you are a US citizen? Is she legal, living in Texas?
Blue states will gladly take immigrants. Zero doubt I'd take an immigrant family over a MAGA family as my neighbors...even if the MAGA family was actually part of my family.
“States Rights” has literally ALWAYS been a cynical ploy to enforce conservative ideals onto other States.
Same madness in the early stages of gay marriage
This is also absolute madness. Missouri’s Senators are absolute pieces of shit.
That’s rich, we still have a president who barely can string together a sentence. Have you heard his attempts to try to speak on the fly?
We're going back to 1850.Fugitive Slave Act and all that. A child born a citizen in a birthright state could be set upon by ICE if they set foot in a nonbirthright state. This is their dystopian plan.
No longer the UNITED States. It's time for blue states to secede.
so states can violate the constitution for birthright citizenship but they have to abide by the second amendment??? So what do states get to decide and what don't they?
What is the exchange rate between California dollars and Missouri dollars? Maybe I first trade them into Texas dollars and play the markets before I get the state dollars I need.
What a nightmare that’s going to be for states when people move from a state that didn’t grant the child citizenship to one that would’ve.
But this isn't about state citizenship, it's about federal citizenship. That makes it ridiculous, and another excuse to grab people.
This ruling stops national injunctions. It did not stop birthright citizenship.
So this would direct immigrants to settle in certain states -- and to leave others. Will this not eventually lead to stagnation or shrinking GDP in states that deny birthright citizenship?
Would that mean the baby couldn't travel to a red state because it could get picked up by ice?
Red states could send bounty hunters across state lines. It’s happened before.
We already did this in America, before the Civil War!!!! 😡🤦
Pitting us against one another is how Authoritarian regimes have stayed in power for many centuries - this is why in the USA we have NO KINGS! Wake up! To have a society where wealth & privilege are more evenly distributed among ALL the people, we need to stick together! Don’t let them divide us!🤦♀️
Red states suck. Period.
And the states with rights are ones being threatened with federal funds being cut… Make That Make Sense.
Yes, it is madness. Ordered by a madman. Upheld by six dishonest, corrupt Supreme Court Justices.
Will this mean more people relocating to blue states?
The federal government has, in essence, just argued and won that they don't really need to exist then. Federally, we have no expectations of rights or due process. That's a state issue now. So, essentially, we have fiefdoms with an overall monarchy.
Time to stop sending federal taxes in. 🤷🏻♀️
I'm unclear how this would work unless you are a business. Employers are required to deduct taxes from our paychecks unless we are independent contractors (I am). And you have to pay tax on goods & services. How do we withhold what we have no control over surrendering?
Raise your W-4 deductions to 10 or 11. It’s a short term strategy, eventually the IRS will want quarterly payments, but for this year and all the uncertainty, it’s an option.
Thank you - I will look into this! 😘
Or warlords, like in Texas. Gov. Abbott deploys LEO to murder those crossing the Rio Grande.
Precisely, so why collect tax money from states to send to the Federal Govnmt? Maybe California & NY can keep their money & justify keeping it when more people move there because they have more rights. Red states go suck it!
As I pay my late quarterly installment *
Exactly
Isn’t that what the Confederacy wanted?
How the South (finally) won the civil war … 165 years after Appomattox
Which is the goal of the broligarch Billionaires! Which was to create a dictator style government with individual broligarchs who rule individual states under the umbrella of the dictator.
Too bad they'll quickly find out that all the money and Boflex in the world won't protect their flabby nerd bodies from real apex predators who decide a little regime change is in order. Those predators might even be members of nerd-boy's own "protection" detail.
Been saying the same for a long while: We only pay taxes and have no use for federation. Dems should draft articles of secession.
Dems are just as useless, if not more so, than the Republicans, because they constantly wave the white flag and claim the moral high ground. Maybe socialist Zorahn the Destroyer could be the new wave of the future. We need *something* other than what we have how.
The problem we have now and for the next 25/30 years is SCOTUS. I was panicking over this when he was elected in 2016.
I had a friend that called me in tears when RGB died. Truly the end of an era.
Me too.
Except when red states bring charges against blue state physicians for providing abortions to red state citizens. Bc, you know, red states care about states rights only until it stops benefiting them
Agreed, but this sets up the ultimate goal of these Dominionist Christians. They want a secession from the "U.S." and have their own MAGA state. It's one step closer to that goal.
I like this idea except for the people who would be economically trapped in those gulags. But - I hate being a pragmatist - but I also can't help it. There's never a war without collateral damage.
There is no way to save everyone, we can only make the best plans and then help those relocate who wish to, with the tax funds we’ll save. Bc the alternative is we all have to stay bc some can’t or refuse to leave. If ppl refuse to leave to stay and fight? All for it, that’s their choice. Not mine
Let them. They have no revenue to support that state
Ironically this is why Roberts supported Obergefell, so that marriages performed in one state were recognized by others. At this rate slavery will be legal in SC again soon.
It's "states rights " until they get what they want. Wait until they abolish the 2nd amendment. They don't want you to be able to defend yourself. Yep. Wait and see, wait, and see.
This country truly sucks
STATES RIGHTS have brought us into this MESS . AREN'T WE ALL AMERICANS???
Next up: Slavery
Be a law abiding citizen in one state…but if you cross the state line, you will be a criminal. It’s crazy. It’s more chaos. More ability for selective prosecution.
If you're allowed to cross state lines.
I’m afraid that they will be thrilled to get human bodies into their jurisdiction. Prison labor is still labor…even if it is slavery.
Maybe it'll mean that none of us are citizens. If not birth, then what makes ANY of us citizens? Because our parents were citizens? Well they were citizens because they were born here. And their parents and their parents.
We all have equal rights under the law, or we have no rights. RIP American Democracy. B. 1776 D. 2025
We have to do another 13 million July 4th Song 1/2 for July 4th protests. It includes a boycott update and reminder for July 17th. It was a stressful week but when I do lyrics for three songs and another one is bubbling in me. Please feel free to share and use. youtu.be/WcGQy6Vt6hY?...
This should certainly be a consideration for companies considering expanding to certain states, professional people considering a move to certain states, etc.
All of these ideas are what we should be doing — how to use the rulings against them to get things done we haven’t been able to! Guns especially!
And soon states will have their own army to protect their citizens. This is madness.
This is just stupid. Citizenship is a national "thing". It has to be one way or the other. If they are not a citizen of the US, what are they? What if their parents come from two different countries? If they are not a citizen, are they deported? To where. Unending stupidity.
That doesn't put much United in the United States.
Well, if we’re not united then we are all individual countries.
🧵 A child born under the same roof may have different rights—because their parent didn’t file the right lawsuit. This is not justice. This must stop. themoralalgorithm.com/dissent-of-t...
We will no longer be united…
They've just institutionalized John Calhoun's idea of states rights as it applied to slavery at the time, the doctrine that led to the Civil War. They've just reversed the outcome of the War and the meaning of the 13th - 15th Amendments. Happy now, assholes?!
I've been saying for months that the Trump II presidency is really the return of the Old Confederacy.
This is Trump's cruel America
Either blue states break away and we live as two separate countries, or we start to really fight and drag all these Treasonous bastards out to the 18th hole at mar-a-lardo, and/or the capitol steps and start dispatching them.
Which will also mean California should stop subsidizing the red states! Bam.
The entire point of the constitution is so that certain rights go for everyone on this nation. If you want your own rules succeed from the union and don’t ask us for any help with your emergencies! It’s UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Not every state for them self of America!
Ok so then by this ruling there should be states that allow NO guns right? Bu then all the sad, sorry Maga/GOP go whining about their “2nd amendment” rights. FOTUS and MAGA and the right wing evil members of the Supreme Court just want to cherry pick to support their terrible version of America
Ironically, people in red states will have fewer rights than those in blue states under this ruling. Seems like that ought to catch somebody's attention.
State's rights are the complete opposite of what it is intended to mean. States that prohibit individual rights are retrograde devolution.
Just like it was back before 1865. Remember that war we fought over “States Rights”? Hope we don’t have to do it again, but current trajectory were on doesn’t look promising at the moment with this Court.
The seditious 6 on the SCOTUS just made it inevitable.
It'll make sense when states like Kentucky don't have a population that can support more than one house representative while the blue states 'double' theirs. Control of congress will be easy then.
It's Trumpism.
They ALL need to be impeached for TREASON!
Joe really screwed up. He should have expanded the Court the minute they overturned Roe.
WHOSE THEIR DADDY??
Stephen Miller
Complete madness
come come the administration does not want any women to have abortions. women have had abortions of one kind or another since the beginning of time.
Brava Jess, Brava....
Madness created by tRump and his minions. #TuckFrump #magamorons.
I don’t think it’s a states rights issue - birthright citizenship is a clear constitutional right. States only come into play because presumably red ones will abide by the EO. Individuals will still have ability to challenge that in those states. It’ll create massive chaos, still.
The problem is that women who cannot afford to travel to states where their children would have the protections of US citizenship at birth will face deportation of both mother and child, unless they can afford an attorney to protect the child. ICE might start showing up in hospital maternity wards.
Recommended: Red Wine and Blue video with Erica Chenoweth on "How Women Will Defeat Authoritarianism" youtu.be/BS0Dd-0Smf4?... We can do this!
This is the chaos they wished for. The problem they’ve created will destroy them. MORE people will be motivated to VOTE in every election to protect the rights they have or those that they’ve lost.
Yeah, they w been working on that pesky “voting” problem……
You are so right. It will work only if we can vote, fairly.
10th amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Poorly written, but We the People know what it means. The people have all rights and powers...
Only The People have inherent and inalienable rights. State and federal governments only have the powers we have delegated to them.
This is Amerikkka catching up to America.
I'm also concerned that a person can be a citizen in one state and be deported in another state.
Nope.
Exactly. The Civil War was fought over individual rights on a NATIONAL BASIS. But - the perps were never punished or deported. So here we still are.
Jess the more people move out of red states and into blue the red states population will go down and they will lose reps in the house while blue states will gain reps. Like you I'm in Missouri but am thinking it's time to leave. Illinois is top of my list. Missouri is too gerrymandered.
They thought over turning Roe wouldn’t effect them.
This is our current government.
The Conservative court is now part of the chaos.
There will be massive demographic shifts if this stands. People will move to a place where they feel safe.
This isn't road signs & property taxes. A person's freedoms & civil rights should not depend on the state they live in.
Gonna have to remove United from your name soon
You mean we can go back to slavery in one state but not some other? Didn't you kill each other because of that? (Sorry, I'm a new member of this club and I'm still in my adjustment phase)
Is it time for states to restructure and form alliances other states with like-minded values. I ask because while I live in a blue progressive state I fear the heavy hand of Trump’s administration will destroy what makes life livable for me and my family.
So much for being the UNITED states of America.🙄🤦🏽♀️🤬🤬🤬
Citizenship in the United States of America is not a state's right issue. It is a federal issue.
Um, but you're using logic and reason. Didn't you get the memo?
They will be coming after gay rights. Back to the states 😡
I find it odd that we call ourselves the "United States" of America when in fact we are far from it.
We aren't the "United" States. If blue states seceded, what would happen to DC? It's not a state, it could go with blue states and then arrest DJT.
I don't get the citizen remark.
Trump/Putin build their autocracy by chaos, confusion & starving the middle class.
No that was only ever a ploy to gain power and a short cut to deny some peoples’ rights in the interim. Soon they will go after blue states.
Yep, the plan is to take away everyone’s rights. 😡
So the Confederacy was right!? Is that what we are doing now?
Can you read? “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” —14th Amendment, Section 1
I believe Alabama hates women.
Choose the state you want live free in
T
If it’s now up to states to decide who’s a citizen — regardless of the clear language of the Constitution— & it’s up to states to decide whether a woman has final authority over her own body— then you know what questions are next, right? Probably, just about all of them.
Yeah, then what is the purpose of a Federal Government? Why fund it? In other words, the Confederacy lost on the battlefield but win in our Federal High Court. This is insane. People pursuing their personal agendas are or have destroyed the United States.
I don’t think so… with all this ICE non sense in the states… as blue states start enacting legislation to limit their reach.. I.e. unmasking, having warrants, lincensed agents… expect SCOTUS to rule in favor of the Gov and lawlessness… this only applies to approved red state legislation..
But men have the same rights in every state 🤔
United States no more. SCOTUS dissolved the Union. There is going to be a population migration more towards progressive states. This is all sounds and feels unreal. Yet, I know it is real. We, the people, have to take control of the country somehow.
What happened to the *United States* ? Everyone's rights will depend on their zip code.
As a Canadian, I might suggest all you blue states, form your own country and let the fascists have what's left. Which won't be much, since you all support them financially right now. ✌🏻🇨🇦
Just like people in Colorado can smoke pot at home but a stoner in Texas cannot.
I cannot imagine the ads from blue states that we’ll soon see about the benefits of residence in them. It has crossed my mind that being in medical marijuana legal PA is quite attractive as we lose federal rights. And legal pot NJ is just a bridge away.
It's almost like those with money will move to blue states and leave the rest of us behind regardless of how we voted.
Yes - all of it is about dividing us. On every level. It’s truly evil. 😡
Welcome to Gilead.
Some people spent very big money for white MAGA rule. ..... and there are many, many more of these anti-humans
Insanity continues
Yes it is, and sadly there are fools that think this is ok?
But there is no such thing as being a citizen of a particular state. You don’t get a California or a Missouri citizenship card.
Yeah you do - according to your Real ID you’re a citizen of the state which issued the ID. This isn’t a new construct. They’ve been putting in the infrastructure for decades.
I hear what you’re saying. But that’s not quite right. If you have a real ID from California, that means you have a real ID issued to you by California. It doesn’t mean you are a citizen of California; you are a resident of California.
What I am saying is that they’ve set it up so that could easily be used that way. It is very easy to change what an ID means.
Yes, agreed.
If California have any sense…that might change.
But I don’t have certain rights unless I leave my state. And states like Missouri have introduced legislation to make it a crime to cross state borders for the purpose of an abortion.
Except other States aren't honoring those cards. There have already been reports of U.S. Citizens being detained after having ICE agents laugh (and dispose of) their genuine Real ID cards as "fakes"
I realize white males aren't exactly being targeted, but when we renewed our passports we were sure to get official passport cards as well, just to be safe. We carry them with us at all times, because I know my history as a U.S. Veteran (notated on my driver's license) means nothing to Fascists.
Unfortunately, passports are not easily accessible to everyone - cost, available documentation, etc. Even getting a RealID can be cumbersome, especially for married women.
Oh, I still have my Oregon DL that clearly says in all caps VETERAN on it; good thru '27 I'll get a genuine EDL (Wa St) when the old DL expires. I know I'm privileged as f$%&. Washington State has their own issues regarding Real ID. I doubt other states' officials even realize the differences. 🤔
They are attempting to break up the United States to get rid of the cost of climate change in the South. They may get their wish.
Perfect analogy. But unfortunately blue states will continue to protect and provide for their citizens while red state citizens will either willingly limit their own rights or be prevented by their own state from having them.
Absolutely
Can’t wait to see what the next dem president does to the second amendment.
I can see how states should have the ability to make laws for their own state for a number of reasons…but a citizen in one state has fundamentally less human rights in another? That’s insanity.
Good luck trying to litigate this confusion. It’s just flat out ridiculous.
Juneteenth is a case-in-point
Oddly enough(/s), it seems that the states offering their citizens the most rights tend to be blue. Interesting, isn’t it.
Supreme Court justices thrive with madness plus the conservative justices are not listening to the majority of Americans.
The USSC has been a political entity for a long time. Now it seems to be an extension of the fascist regime.
Trump is a moron.
Is this why Barron will get to stay and not be deported?
No, he'll get to stay since they claim the trumpy family are christians, which will make him exactly what they like and want in nazi amerikkka, a white male christian. This new ruling isn't about undocumented immigrants, it's about white washing and removing people they don't like here, period.
We are creating a Mason Dixie line
Excellent choice of words!!
Until they can take rights away from everyone, though.
The difference is that the Constitution says anyone born in our country is a citizen. No?
What's the point of being a country at all, if the Court is just going to Balkanize it into separate entities with their own laws? How long before this cold civil war we've been having since the late 90's (thanks, Rupert. Roast in Hell.) turns hot?
So...now what. Two different countries?
Two, at a minimum. But why not . . . 50?
😵💫
The Divided States of America. Not sure we can come back after this Trump era. Thanks #SCOTUS 😡
and ICE will deport both of them because they just don't care.
California is a sanctuary state, we will continue to follow the constitution. Sadly, the federal government has decided to occupy our state. We will need to push back even more against ICE.
That's crazy. He finally got to the Supreme Court. 2 were always MAGA. The other 4 folded.
The Supremes are setting the stage for a new civil war. The rest of us will be leaving these archaic states to move to free thinking, common sense states. Americans will absolutely be shopping states AND countries in order to find places that will have us.
And will rights be stripped further if the person born in California and IS a citizen travels somewhere they aren't? Will they be whisked away?
Or will one have to rush back home before the temporary travel pass expires?
This is just terrifying. If 'they' are laying in wait at Home Depot for people what's to stop border patrol between states that 'do' and 'don't'?
I don't think so....it doesn't mean the Constitution overturned.... more work for SCOTUS it seems... but federal court district where case filed has to determine that "federal relief" required....class actions become more a go-to perhaps....
I agree with you. I don’t know enough but it seems to me that each Federal jurisdiction will make their decisions and then will probably be appealed and back to SCOTUS. 93 District Courts and 13 Appellate Courts. If this is right, it’s insane.
Well Katie is an attorney and I'll go with this: bsky.app/profile/kati...
Yeah. Basically each court will decide whether or not to follow the Constitution.
Not quite but…
Is he new to this politics thing?
Missouri (in a gif)
Um. Fuck Kentucky (with all due respect to Beshear).
What is the point of the “United” States.
Except a state can't reverse birthright citizenship, since it's a Constitutional right. Whether states like it or not.
They can if no one stops them or enforces the law. Due process is in the constitution, too.
Doesn’t that give the state sovereignty over national rights. Kind of like the EU? How soon before states declare independence?
Do you think this is the point.... How long have people in Texas wanted to be their own country?
Good riddance to them. Bet they will miss those federal dollars coming from the blue states.
Correct
At least as long as I have wanted them to be. Hell they can take the bottom half of missouri and all of the south east with em.
But -- they give up US military bases, b/c those belong to the country they are departing. Life is gonna be great in all these little towns that depend on nearby bases as a source of revenue.
That's the idea. It's the cardinal sign of a dismantled democracy.
At which point, the whole notion of being a "United" States falls apart. Time you all decided what you actually want to be as a country.
I wish this is how things would work, bc blue states would thrive. But it’s not about state’s rights anymore, it’s about what Trump wants. And that’s for everyone, not just MAGA states
Blue states supply the cash for red states. But a whole lot of red states supply the natural resources needed by the entire country. It’s a losing game at this point to do red versus blue. We all have to come together. Solidarity.
The first thing we have to do is understand the situation then. Pretending like he’s not trying to enforce his rules on all of America is the first mistake here.
Also, what exactly do you mean by supplying the “natural resources”? You mean energy resources, like oil and coal? Or you mean food as well?
Either way, blue states would be fine, no matter what. Red states wouldn’t be
The US is a deeply split society. I doubt that blue states (some of them at least) will continue to sent money while their rights are being removed. Independence or fascism might be the only choices on offer.
Do we get the military bases situated in the south back? The white house should be vacated immediately, its in blue country.
Does that eliminate Federal taxes?
United States don't seem very united. I'm sure Putin and the CCP are just giddily overjoyed with the collapse and breakup of the USA
It actually runs deeper than that. The ORIGINAL "Jane Roe" (of Roe vs Wade) was a woman in a state that did not allow abortions trying to be treated the same as a women in a state that did allow abortions. They threw out the WHOLE ENCHILADA! SCOTUS is most Satanic and evil now-I LOVE it!!!!
If we are talking states rights, wouldn't California's sanctuary laws supersede DOJs authority to round up noncriminal workers.
Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social it’s time California was its own country. Get on with it. It’s what we all want to do anyway, hell you might even be its first president.
What the hell do the GOPer Supremes think we ratified the Constitution for if they're going to just ignore it and go back to the Articles of Confederation?
Makes you wonder if expanding the SC under the past administration might have been the best protection for democracy, freedom, and human rights.
Stupid stupid stupid!!
This is absolutely insane. It makes no sense. Some women have a right to bodily autonomy and others don’t…unless you are a Florida politician and then you can have bodily autonomy in a state that denies women that very right. The hypocrisy level is astounding.
This is how civil wars happen. Some states had no slaves while others didn't. It's almost like the courts are setting us up.
Yes, the courts are helping set up the tRump narrative. It’s hard to make this shit up but here we go living in the reality shit show. #TuckFrump
Not 'the courts' - it's 1 specific court ( like in 'one ring to rule them all' and you figure out who the Orks are!)
The courts, or an outside foreign actor who is playing the long game whose end goal is the destruction of the United States of America?
They're well on their way.
Pin us against each other and sweep up the ashes
Unfortunately that is the strategy because it works so damn well.
No one will be able to destroy the US as effectively…as the US.
I wish that this weren't true.
If only ppl would realize that we are still fighting the Civil War and just go ahead and split the country up in to 3(?) parts.
AND … THIS is NOT the way America or ANY Democracy works! Sad that in America Two-thirds of your highest court in the land is totally Corrupt! 😡👎🤡
Doesn’t it make you wonder what Putin’s got on Trump? What’s Trump got on John Roberts?
It’s not just Robert’s the last two orders that were overturned were voted 6-3 they are all a problem.
When government acts unconstitutionally, the courts must protect everyone—not just a lucky few. This isn’t legal theory. It’s the Moral Algorithm. themoralalgorithm.com/dissent-of-t...
Yes, I know. However, its Roberts’ court, tho’ very slim chance he is reasonable. (Quoting Judy Tenuta: ”Hey. It could happen”). The only ones likely to ever break along non-partisan lines is Coney-Barrett or once, surprisingly Kavanaugh.
He has nothing Trump is an asshole
Yes he is. That story about the prostitute in Russia… fits. Trumpy was pretty upset about Stormy Daniels exposė. I have to wonder.
Yeah, I just think that he naturally aligns with Putin because he’s not a fan of democracy, no kompromat necessary . He doesn’t respect any of the European leaders that I’ve noticed.
He’s done some really bad things, like try to overthrow an election. He was friends with Epstein. I feel certain that he used his services. I think that blaming some secret as to why Trump acts the way he acts is giving him a pass. He’s a bad person with bad intentions. No blackmail needed.
The man wouldn’t even reach out to Tim Walz or the family members of the Minnesota legislators who were targeted and some murdered. He said he wasn’t gonna be nice. He’s not being blackmailed. Or if he is, it isn’t because of a hooker. Maybe a murder or 3. He’s a horrible man.
HE 🤡 is an empty shell of a man. He is devoid of any and all human emotions, especially Empathy! That’s what a Psychopath is! 👎🍕💩
Orange is as awful as he appears. Why would they ever expect a disingenuous reach out from a self-absorbed vindictive creature?
HE 🤡 Has been committing criminal acts almost his Entire Life! And what it tells us is that the American justice system is completely compromised and has been for decades! Two Rules - one for the wealthy, and one for the rest!
Its a rot to the core. He’s been rewarded for his shitty view of other people much of his life. That does blend well with Narcissism. If not Putin, would have been another putin-type. Hey. Isn’t “Putin” —> “turkey” in another language?
Sure but … It’s what Mossad and the Libertarians have on all of them that makes them compliant to THEIR wishes.
This is a little different though. If a baby born in California is deemed a citizen, but one born in Missouri is not , will migrants need a passport to cross state lines? Can that child grow up and attend college in any state? Can they legally work? Are they eligible for Social Security?
Will citizens of one state need a passport to visit family in another state? To fly from one state to another? What about those who receive healthcare in another state due to special treatment availablity?
It’s all up for grabs.
ultimately, this really is functionally dissolving the "united" states.
So much for being the United States of America.
Missouri gives the right to A-holes to control women.
🤣😡
I guess that could happen immediately in states or federal districts where no temporary injunction is in effect.
I live in backwards Texas. My entire family lives here. I stay for that reason. Problem is the so called “Christian” right republicans run the state. And laws are regressive, women have no rights, racism, hatred, etc. Texas.
Same in Missouri.
If we are no longer “united” in our laws & protections, what is the point of remaining “united” at all? 🤔
There is no point. Blue states paying for read states while red states are trying to remove the rights of everyone. It was never going to be a structurally sound system.
We’ve been voting NO on repCONS Crooks
The Constitution is the Supreme law of the land. Federal laws take precedence over state laws. That is because of the Supremacy clause (Article VI, Clause 2) of the Constitution.
Chaos
There is going to be a mass migration out of the states who don’t protect the rights of its people then it will be us against them.
That’s what the white supremacists have wanted. Civil war.
I don’t want civil war but we all need to put our thinking caps on to fight these mf
And it is madness.
If the child is a citizen of one state, will the child be a citizen in states that don't honor the 14th amendment? Has the Roberts court put the seal of approval on John Calhoun's nullification argument?
Yep.
Like there were states who allowed slavery and states who abolished slavery
Wait until they pass a new Fugitive Slave Act to criminalize helping the enslaved break free.
Next they’ll be saying that non-citizens on US soil aren’t entitled to Constitutional protections.
And people will choose very carefully where they live. We’ll have 2 different countries. We kind of do already.
