That is a pretty stupid rule
If we are a unified nation, why do we all have seperate rules for running the presidental election?
We honestly need an amendment to the constitution saying that all states participating in presidental elections, or anything federal where all states participate (excluding house, senate, and local races) must use a predetermined set of rules, so there are no more of these controversies ever again
If anyone proposed that, no matter the party, I would vote for them
I don't want to deal with this garbage
Elections are performed by the states. We don't want to open a can of worms with that. Interestingly, most have forgotten that the SCOTUS threw out a multi state suit led by Oklahoma and Nebraska against Colorado's weed legalization. Hearing the case would violate state sovereignty among themselves, and thus the suit was thrown out. This current ruling is within perfect legal precedence
There are solutions, namely actually enforcing the laws we have. 99.99% of the time that covers the "need for new laws"
The current ruling is not in the same category as Colorado's weed legalization. WI, PA, MI, and GA all violated their own state constitutions, as well as the federal constitution by making laws without state legislation. That is the argument.
I heard something about Texas trying to secede from the Union can anyone confirm this?
Ah shit
I'm in the part of Texas slated to become part of Mexico in that map up there
texas is trying to form a loyalist union to the constitution, so no, not secede..but every state not with texas technically would be criminally seceding
Yeah, and "defund the police" doesn't mean " defund the police."
can someone please provide a new link or reference for this information about the Texas Union? Thank you
That just fills me with hope tbh
Why do I have this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach though? Like this is only tip of the iceberg?
Cause it is tbh
I hope that nothing extreme happens the second I sign my papers for the National Guard.
Does anyone know what seceding from the Union would entail if Texas were to actually do it?
I know....I've been checking the rounds in my magazines and the locks on my door.
I live in TX so it's quite important to know
Uh, maybe military intervention? I’m interested to see what Texarkana looks like after that, being a border town and all.
note - this applies to over zealous city and state gov officials too
You also have to prove actual damages
So every Trump supporter could theoretically sue each federal agent in their area?
I identify as damaged by the lockdowns
Tell your small business owners in California and New York
What's the new defense bill
hoo boy things are heatin up
@Frostjag proving damages will be no problem for the thousands of restaurants who had to close in California and New York. I would love to see Cuomo and Newsom held personally responsible for their decisions, which any reasonable person would understand that they would cause financial ruin. Case closed.
Well first you have to not comply with the governmental order, be forced to comply by government actions (arrest/fines), then sue, then win
