Oh, so “state’s rights” only comes alive when it comes to oppressing and murdering Black people or preventing female persons from having abortions.
But orange insurrectionists? States aren’t allowed to anything about them.

@popcornreel States can do plenty.
It's just that state courts can't apply federal law without legal authority.
@rant I should have said a bit more: state courts can't apply federal law against the federal government.
The Court recognized the presidential election as a federal process, and it drew a contrast against state offices.
I'm not fully on board with it, but I get where they're going.
@volkris @popcornreel ehhh... Not sure I agree with that reading. State courts can and do regularly enforce constitutional amendments (hi first and fourteenth amendments).
So they can't enforce federal laws, sure, but this was the Constitution.
