The point at which they are fighting against the majority in the state is the point they stop being a valid government in my opinion. The whole point for states rights is to reflect what the people in the state want. And if the majority wants something and the people voted in appose it, they should be removed from their positions.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The conservative movement was never about states’ rights. That’s just the market-tested brand name they used to sell their particular flavor of authoritarianism.
Yeah well then Ohio is aggressively failed. When it was a swing state it was already so gerrymandered that it was driving away liberals
a lot of southern states are horribly gerrymandered in favor or Republicans. It's disgusting.
Yeah but not as bad as Ohio (it’s a northern state), though Alabama may be worse now given their refusal to cede to a map approved by this supreme court
That last one actually is kinda the definition of a constitutional crisis. SC says “do the thing”; state says “make me”. We have ourselves an impasse.
Not really. Like that’s what happened during integration. Eisenhower brought in the national guard and integrated the schools whether the state liked it or not. It’s a major part of why we have an executive branch
What kills me is that those are red states, which means some of those pro-choice voters are okay voting for pro-birthers come election time and then go all pikachu face when their rights are taken from them.
This great news in theory, but it won’t be great news in practice until that idiotic Issue 1 is voted down and then the ballot to enshrine abortion rights is passed.
Fuck the GOP and their fascism.
