re: #87 Obdicut

This isn’t states-rights conservatism. This is actually an attack on states rights that shows that even that isn’t an honest ideological position on the part of the GOP. This is a massive claim of greater power for the congress and Presidency. If this were the case, the federal government would gain enormous power compared to the states, since the judiciary has so much of its power and function at the state level.

This is party authoritarianism.

It all boils down to the same thing, really. This is just more bold and open about it than the “states rights” facade. Both are just methods of enforcing an authoritarian and backwards stance, laws and constitution be damned.
