Oh
Well, when states wanted slavery to be left to the states it started a war. I wonder if abortion would be the same
If she held that someone with similar legal philosophy to Scalia should replace any and all vacancies on the court that could be a view she could hold with full integrity ... you might not agree but I don't think that is a reason to doubt her integrity
obviously it didn't
(because they didn't leave it to the states; they mandated the right to abortion)
(and we are still here)
gah I think that was a misunderstanding, don't frustrate me with this talk 🙂
(i'm jk, talk away)
I’m not a big fan of states rights , well I can’t think of it being a benefit currently, so far they have used to to keep weed illegal, make abortion illegal, historically it was about slavery, , what’s a good state right used to give to protect its citizens freedoms ?
Her body her choice
not if she's in the womb, huh?
I didn't get that she was advocating for all seats to be filled by originalists. I think she was being protective of her mentor's seat. I get that she might not hold RGB in the same regard. I just thought it was morally inconsistent and , consequently, could be construed as hypocritical. The question was posed as to why someone might disagree with her nomination and that was part of it. The other was her lack of practical experience.
um weed is _federally_ illegal
some states have legalized it
every federal entitlement is an example of something that the states should do themselves
@TaLoN132 Kagan was never a judge. You don’t think she is worthy of holding a supreme court seat?
Right but that’s in spite of it being federally illegal
it is crazy that people in CA pay 40% (upper) in income taxes to the federal government, and the state has little room left to tax for things like universal healthcare
@realz, you just advanced to level 20!
why wouldn't she advocate that all seats be filled with originalists ... that would be a consist view ... you could disagree with it but it would be consistent
yea, and isn't that something an example of a state doing something that the federal government is trying to tak away?
The idea of states rights comes down to do you think we're a federation or not. Frankly, I don't think most people view the US as a federation, therefore states rights are restricted
you literally just asked for an example of this
Right
I don't think I want to be a part of a country where people far away will dictate my local laws
if you extend this to the world, you wouldn't like it one bit
Yeah but doesn’t that go both ways
if we made china the 51st state, they would completely swamp all our local policies at the federal level
I don't want that
I don't want it with CA either
every single partisan issue in the world is brought to the federal level
I don't want that
Meglide. Will u have a baby that the doctors tell u is going to have a genetic disorder. . And will not have a normal life that if u have he or she might kill u in the process.
I want partisan issues to be decided by locals
Mati you're just asking is it murder if it has a genetic disease
Eugenic abortion was recently outlawed in Poland
No there are alot of reason to not have a baby. Is just one of then
You mean there are a lot of reasons to kill a baby?
I feel like I have to abide by the laws of very restrictive states, I mean for example weed would be legal federally if it wasn’t for certain states like Kentucky (looking at you Mitch McConnell) Why do more populous states have to live by minority rule
Not kill a baby... just not have he or she
If u take pla. B The pill are u killing a baby? .
