Socialism wants to centralize all power to the state...

2018-11-23 18:24:18 UTC  

THE state?

2018-11-23 18:24:27 UTC  

The state as in the government.

2018-11-23 18:24:28 UTC  

You mean state as in government or state as in the US states?

2018-11-23 18:24:31 UTC  

Oh.

2018-11-23 18:24:32 UTC  

Okay.

2018-11-23 18:24:41 UTC  

That is how it is phrased.

2018-11-23 18:24:46 UTC  

the FGM ruling, unfortunate though the immediate consequences are
is the first time I can recall a court finding a limit to interstate commerce powers

2018-11-23 18:24:52 UTC  

I don't think our founding fathers realized how big United States will become.

2018-11-23 18:25:15 UTC  

Maybe not in precise terms.

2018-11-23 18:25:15 UTC  

They said state as in a small state.

2018-11-23 18:25:23 UTC  

I mean, sex is the oldest commerce there is

2018-11-23 18:25:29 UTC  

You realize, of course, this undermines the power of the federal government to prevent human rights violations.

This ruling officially means that the federal government is no longer allowed to ban human rights violations, it's now up to each state.

2018-11-23 18:25:30 UTC  

Not a whole nation spanning from sea to shining sea.

2018-11-23 18:25:35 UTC  

But they did foresee a growing power that would infringe on individual liberties.

2018-11-23 18:25:39 UTC  

It is quite explicit.

2018-11-23 18:25:53 UTC  

My home state of Washington has debated making it a Class B felony but it's been lost in committee. I'll encourage my kids and parents to write letters to fix that.

2018-11-23 18:26:05 UTC  

Growing power of the government, yes...

2018-11-23 18:26:05 UTC  

Great state

2018-11-23 18:26:11 UTC  

Which part of WA?

2018-11-23 18:26:12 UTC  

They took examples from other nations before us.

2018-11-23 18:26:16 UTC  

"No longer"
This was already outside of the jurisdiction of federal powers, as designed

2018-11-23 18:26:18 UTC  

Learned from those mistakes.

2018-11-23 18:26:22 UTC  

And created United Sattes.

2018-11-23 18:26:24 UTC  

States^

2018-11-23 18:26:25 UTC  

It depends on the human right violation, @JustTom

2018-11-23 18:26:48 UTC  

@JustTom the Supremacy Clause places the Constitution,
and the "laws of nations" (treaties)
in the top position, particularly when courts are rendering decisions
human rights are, quite often, written into treaties

2018-11-23 18:27:03 UTC  

I disagree with you now. According to the 10th ammendment, unless it's already in the constitution, fuckyou, it has to be declared by the state now.
That's what this ruling says from a legal standpoint.

2018-11-23 18:27:04 UTC  

If the violation in question can be links to one of the amendments, it can still be addressed federally. The Constitution covers the states

2018-11-23 18:27:05 UTC  

@DrYuriMom which part of WA?

2018-11-23 18:27:39 UTC  

Clark County, across the state line from Portland

2018-11-23 18:27:53 UTC  

Ah shit, I am near seattle

2018-11-23 18:28:06 UTC  

@JustTom ask yourself how Social Security is a "power reserved" to the feds

2018-11-23 18:28:12 UTC  

I go up there every year for Sakura Con . Maybe we might IRL in April.

2018-11-23 18:28:21 UTC  

DUDE NO WAY?!?!

2018-11-23 18:28:30 UTC  

I was thinking of going this year

2018-11-23 18:28:34 UTC  

😃

2018-11-23 18:28:43 UTC  

I am also near Seattle

2018-11-23 18:28:45 UTC  

@paradigm Good point, maybe we should sue for that too.

2018-11-23 18:28:47 UTC  

was hoping to find someone to go with though
