And the states being sued repeatedly said they followed their own laws and you, Texas, can take a flying leap!

I should read the book but will not hold my breath. I curse my Catholic 1 through college education for my inability to enjoy reading.

They are for state's rights as long as the states are doing what they want.

But, when the states are not doing what they want....then, not so much.

I know the word 'sad' is overused, but in this case it's appropriate.

I've come to the conclusion that many (maybe 'most') republicans are 'for' republicans and against anything that isn't them.....like logic, rationale discourse, the world, identifying problems, solving problems, understanding how shit works, personal responsibility (yup, they even lost that), sacrifice for country, smaller federal government (that's not them any more either),

There actually was a time when Democrats and Republicans would argue over policies.....not facts.

We'd all accept the facts, and understand them, then argue about which course(s) of action should be taken.

Now, we have over a hundred republican representatives that don't even know who won a Presidential election that was held a mere five weeks ago.

would refrain from trashing their new Constitution were they to secede and form a new Union? A leopard doesn’t change its spots and there is no honor among thieves. Once a seditious traitor, always a seditious traitor.

..calling it a confederacy of dunces for a long time. Don’t know why we should be paying so much attention to one of the most popular and influential congressperson in decades.

Im not saying anything, I’m just saying.

confederacy of dunces? Cause they deserve some kudos. I googled and the only one other than AOC that came up was Joe Scarborough and he is NOT a Democrat in any way shape or form.
