Since the disaster of Nov.5, I have never been more for State's Rights then I am now. I am in California, and I am

selfish.

1. My daughter has suggested that we move to California

Seems like a safe blue haven. Pennsylvania used to be, perhaps no longer 😑

2. They're Gonna Come After States Rights As Soon As They're Able To

If they can push through a National Abortion Ban, they will.

If they dissolve Separation Of Church & State, they will.

5. Let em try to enforce it. There will be resistance in states with legal abortion. I doubt they have the resources.

In order for them to dissolve Church and State they would have to repeal the first amendment.

8. They've Already Dissolved The Line

Churches are free to promote politics from the alter.

They've been pushing hard to get prayer in schools, and at some point they will succeed.

They'll have all the resources of the Federal government at their disposal, should they decide to ban abortion nationally. They'll deal with those who resist, just like they'll deal with immigrants they want to throw out.

11. It actually is illegal. They just haven't enforced it, but could and should lose their tax exemption if they violate it

As for prayer in public schools, that remains to be seen.

3. Did you join Gavin Newsom's conference call tonight? it was really good

4. So, with respect to a prospective national abortion ban....

could this end up being the "law of the land"?


Yes, federal laws can supersede state laws in certain circumstances:

Supremacy Clause
The Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the U.S. Constitution establishes that federal laws are the "supreme law of the land" and take precedence over state laws. This means that federal laws can preempt state laws that conflict with them.

9. People Are Naive If They Don't Think A National Abortion Ban Will At Least Be Attempted nt

7. The cost of living is high

but that is the price to pay if you want a better quality of life. I'd rather watch my pennies than live in 100% fear of losing my rights.

10. I'm in NM, where Democrats still control everything.

If we ever turn red, I’m going somewhere on the west coast.
