are we heading towards another George Wallace state vs. federal?

9. Yes.

And don't forget Gov. Ross of Mississippi during the James Meredith crisis.

Troops had to be sent in to the southern states, there were armed battles,
many people died for minority education rights and for Civil Rights.

It's hard to believe we're going through the same states' rights stuff over,
of all things, healthcare.

Will the South ever learn?


On edit, I should add the problem of voting rights being eroded in the South
as well, with governors and attorney generals not only defying federal law
but also threatening to sue the federal government over it.

The mind boggles.
