    You understand these people arent going to stop at federalism, yes? Please take a look at Project 2025. They want to force their own values onto the majority at the federal level, and our ancient electoral system will enable them to do so. And even if they did, that would still be condemning the populations of their own states to repression

      That is true, I hadn’t considered that. Project 2025 does indeed call for curtailing the sovereignty of the individual States. Perhaps not explicitly, but they will leverage the Supremacy Clause as well as the Commerce Clause to usurp the powers of States they don’t like.

      Which wouldn’t be very “muh states rights” of them, but they don’t care.

        Precisely. The “Originalism” of the court- backward as it would be- isnt even that. Its a front to sell out federal policy to the highest bidder. Because its not enough to live in Gilead, they have to fuse it with Night City too.
