22. Yes,

I'm afraid of States Rights winning out...Holder used the arguement that the Feds immigration laws over-ride the State immigration laws. It's true and would have been the easiest way to win that case, but that's what the repubs wanted I think. So he's been tricked into giving the Supreme Court a case that could give the States a hell of a lot more power. And Obama made the mistake of putting someone on the Supreme Court that worked on many of the cases that will be coming before the court which means recusal...which is what she did on this case...I have a feeling we are SO SCREWED.

Once the states have maga power, just think of the voting rights we'll be left with for one thing.
