Which kind of states’ rights are you referring to – the kind that caused the Civil War or the enumerated and unenumerated powers granted to the various states with regard to limited self governance? Assuming the latter, a state has the power to restrict its own authority it is also limited by that state’s own Constitution and the US Constitution as well as many other laws, rules, regulations, and established principles. Michigan has different laws than Colorado. The Michigan Supreme Court correctly found that it is not empowered to remove a candidate from a political party’s primary election ballot.
I genuinely do not understand what is difficult about this. It would seem the average Lemmy user’s lack of understanding of the law is only matched by that same group’s certainty of their mastery of it.
So I was right, the argument is that a state Supreme Court exercises unlimited authority within that state’s borders.
What a horribly stupid take.
Isn’t that what state’s rights is all about?
Do you believe that only certain things should be state’s rights?
Who decides which is which and if it’s the feds that do that would that mean that states have no rights?

I didn’t think my question was as difficult as you’re making it out to be.
The more interesting part is do you think yourself as an average Lemmy user?
Do you have a relevant discussion point or are you just here to harass people who don’t share your feelings about ex-president Trump?
