Next up: Birth control.
They can't really do that if there's a Democrat in the White House and the courts are semi rational. You really can't stop a certified drug from being distributed through the post office nationally. But, you change either of those conditions and the lunatics will run the asylum. They'll bring back sodomy laws too.
Found the problem.
Especially the 5th circuit. That's where Matthew Kacsmaryk punts the dumbest cases to Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, who then shit all over the law.
Yeah the GOP has the ability to defacto veto any legislation in the country. Kacsmaryk will issue a nationwide injunction on any policy they ask him to. It's fucking nuts.
And then the courts try to rein in this obvious forum shopping and the Northern District in TX just says "naw, we aren't going to listen to that". How the fuck does that shit fly?!
Same way it always has: cuz no one suffers any actual consequences.
Sounds like a good place to start when the revolution comes.
