      I mean we're seeing it right now with abortion rights about to be abolished.

      The United States styles itself as the beacon of freedom when the majority of their "rights" are just polite suggestions that can be easily rolled back any moment :agony-shivering:

      That's not really in effect anymore anyway, both because it's superseded by the 13th amendment and because it only applied to slaves in rebelling states, which there aren't any of right now.

      But he could instruct the DOJ to unconstitutionally ignore the 13th amendment and probably get away with it.
