    The point at which they are fighting against the majority in the state is the point they stop being a valid government in my opinion. The whole point for states rights is to reflect what the people in the state want. And if the majority wants something and the people voted in appose it, they should be removed from their positions.

      The conservative movement was never about states’ rights. That’s just the market-tested brand name they used to sell their particular flavor of authoritarianism.

        Oh I know. I’m just stating it’s just blatant at this point

      Yeah well then Ohio is aggressively failed. When it was a swing state it was already so gerrymandered that it was driving away liberals

        a lot of southern states are horribly gerrymandered in favor or Republicans. It’s disgusting.

          Yeah but not as bad as Ohio (it’s a northern state), though Alabama may be worse now given their refusal to cede to a map approved by this supreme court

            That last one actually is kinda the definition of a constitutional crisis. SC says “do the thing”; state says “make me”. We have ourselves an impasse.

              Not really. Like that’s what happened during integration. Eisenhower brought in the national guard and integrated the schools whether the state liked it or not. It’s a major part of why we have an executive branch
