Always has been too. Even before the war fought over "states' rights", they were trying to tell northern states they couldn't not return slaves to the south. Their own assertions fall apart at the first attempt at fact checking.

No shit? All democrats in power need to be talking about how their are going to add Justices to the supreme court. Anything they do will be struck down by this lawless court using their stupid made up "Major Questions" doctrine which makes them unelected god kings.

You expect all 50 states will just roll over and accept this?
Seems like a ludicrous take, but alright.

Sorry, I’m just not very optimistic at this point.

He's right. They'll absolutely attempt this farce.

Obama had eight years to protect women's rights and now it's a problem. Fucking toads

It’s the only consistent position you can advocate for if you think life begins at conception.
