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.

@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.

@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.
