I wonder when a future Supreme Court will come right out and say that “state’s rights” are unconstitutional and that the various state legislatures are ordered dissolved because they frustrate Federal authority?

Or are they really just going to go at piecemeal?

They would never be that honest. They would dress it up on poetic prose so that supporters have cover and dissenters are just speechless — left to wear bags over their heads in shame for what has become of this country.

There’s no reason to spoil the charade. Every state but Texas is already owned by the federal government. At the rate Mexicans and Californians are pouring in, Texas won’t hold out for long.

Wouldn’t you continue to go about it piecemeal until the point was moot?

That’s what they are doing.

I am certain that we mostly agree, but states and governments do not have rights. They have powers. The idea that governments have rights was introduced to obfuscate what actual rights are, and to deny rights to individuals.

As was many things, the mangling of the language in favor of leftist false assumptions has become common.

Piecemeal but the pieces will be falling pretty rapidly now. There seems to be a culminating point, a deadline as it were, of the end of next year. I expect a climax of some sort next summer when even the densest will know that the Republic is dead or the Left is dead, not temporarily beaten in elections or court decisions, but dead.
