CC, a lot of questions don’t lend themselves to simple Yes/No answers. As a lawyer, I coach witnesses to watch out for clever lawyers who try to box them in with “false dilemma” questions that will actually force the witness to misrepresent the truth if a simple Yes/No answer is given. To show you the difficulty, let me ask what *you* would do if a state, say, Maryland, up and decided to legalize the enslavement of all it’s FReepers, complete with hunting them down, house by house?

If the 14th Amendment has not been repealed, then a simple Appeal of the State Law to the Federal Courts should be sufficient to see the offending State Law struck down as UnConstitutional.

See, the problem that EV and I are discussing doesn't really have to do with the States passing Laws which legally disadvantage one class of citizens (the Unborn, or FReepers, or what have you) -- both EV and I would agree that such Laws should be struck down as UnConstitutional.

The problem is, what is the Federal Government supposed to do if a State repeals a State Law which protects a group of citizens -- that is, presuming that we were to overturn Roe vs. Wade and bring State Laws against Abortion back into effect, then what do you do if a State were to repeal its Laws against Abortion? The Congress and the Courts are not authorized to write laws for the States; and there's really nothing to Appeal to the Courts if a State is simply repealing an existing Law.

So, I think that you need to fine-tune your analogy.

If you are asking about States passing unjust Laws, EV and I will have no disagreement. Such Laws should be struck down as UnConstitutional.
Ergo, you need to re-write your analogy to describe a Case in which a State were to repeal a Law which provides legal protection to the citizenry, or to one class of citizens.

Do that, and I'll be happy to discuss your analogy -- including answering ANY "Yes" or "No" Questions with a straightforward "Yes" or "No". (I reserve the right to provide a full explanation for my answer, but I will happily take a "Yes" or "No" stance to start the discussion).
