    What would voting for the dems this year do in relation to Roe v Wade? The dems have the power to stop it.

      More boss babes in cute skirts! Libs are now calling for sanctions against red states. That'll forsure help the People facing the brunt of this ruling.

      Seriously, if anyone here is affected and can get to Canada easily. You have a free place to stay, with health clinics nearby.

        Libs are now calling for sanctions against red states.

        It really is too bad that libs don't carry little pocket constitutions with them, otherwise they would have heard about a little Import-Export Clause that makes this difficult to impossible. Why are Americans so in love with passing performative, anti-constitutional laws?

          Because that's what the constitution itself always was

                The constitution cannot be performative because until the state withers away, it is what dictates material conditions in the US.

                Saying otherwise is pure ideology.

                    Politicians knowingly violating the constitution are just seeing how far they can bend the powers of government to their will. Shibboleth's to the constitution are performative, the document is not. At times the document enshrined racialized slavery, alcohol prohibition, and other ills. As written, punitive slavery is still legal and good. The law can grant further rights that don't exist in the constitution but it cannot violate the document. It is not the concept of the constitution that drives America, America is the constitution and very little else.

              The Articles of Confederation were illegally overturned, according to the true originalists.

                Sorry sweaty, but losers don't get to write history. The Articles of Confederation had defects incompatible with life. Their government was delivered stillborn so the founding fathers set to conceiving a new one. It was either that or perish in a revolution or civil war.

                  Pretty disrespectful of them to value their own lives more highly than a sacred document.

      :maybe-later-kiddo: Sorry, sweaty, the Senate Parliamentarian says we can't legislate Federal-level reproductive rights!
