Not knowing US constitutional law, it seems to me the SCOTUS decision might mean that the Dems missed an opportunity when they had the house

That it’s a federal matter seems legally predictable/natural to me, and that it then falls to congress to enforce then also seems natural.

What am I missing on that?

Otherwise, what would the Dems have had to lose by passing an act when they had the house? The 14th was right there.

    We’re in a world now where there’s no path to 60 votes ever again on any issue that isn’t “Killing dogs is bad.”

      “Killing dogs is bad.”

      I mean, you just lost Mitt Romney’s vote with that one

        And the Huckabee clan.

      That position sounds anti-law enforcement.

        Literally would make most police actions illegal and there’s no way Uncle Joe would sign it.
