I realize this is too simplistic a view, but when I hear "send it back to the States", the first thing that runs through

[Ferrets are Cool]

my mind is that we live in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. See that word UNITED. We don't live in the SEPARATE STATES OF AMERICA.
Oh, and FUCK DONALD.

[Walleye]

1. Oh just wait, they will want to send civil rights and slavery "back to the states"

[edisdead]

2. That has been the goal the entire time

[Walleye]

11. They have been working on this since I was a child.

They have never gotten over the Supreme Court, ordering schools to be racially integrated. They’ve been working for two generations to retaliate

[Mister Ed]

3. Yep. "Popular Sovereignty" was the slogan of the slavery supporters.

They argued that it should be up to the voters of each individual state to decide whether it should be legal to buy and own people as livestock animals.

[Walleye]

12. They want to leave abortion to the voters in individual states. Why not just leave it to the individual women

That makes it an even more of a local decision. They never expect women to vote. Let’s fool them this time.

[Volaris]

7. Unless they win control of congress, and then you watch how fast they scream

Supremacy Clause when it comes to a national abortion ban.
Back to the States, my fat white ass...

[nebby70]

4. thank goodness you said that...I thought I was the only one that felt that...n/t

[dameatball]

5. Not too simplistic at all. The rubles have been well spent.

[DENVERPOPS]

6. "Send it back to the states"

unless it concerns "States Rights" voting, like in 2000...........where the USSC, without Constitutional justification or rights, interjected themselves into the Florida re-count and LITERALLY "threw" the election to W and Cheney.........

[slightlv]

8. They want to over throw our gov"t

And kill our constitution because they want to bring back the Articles of Confederation. For these magats the Civil War never ended. They're still fighting the "War of Northern Aggression"... what everyone else calls the Civil War.

They're darned intent on beating us Yankees.. even tho North and South really has no meaning anymore.... and they want to beat us down finally and completely. That's why they're so prone to violence, IMNSHO.

[Beck23]

9. This is another form of "States Rights".

States Rights was used to resist integration in the South. It's a manifestation of the desire to secede from the union, or "The South shall rise again".

[Walleye]

13. Yep, for some reason, they think states have more rights than women

[ECL213]

10. Send it back to the states means...

this is an issue we cannot win based on a popular vote, so let's leave it up to the places where we have gerrymandered control.

[Johonny]

14. There are some basic aspects of humanity

That shouldn't depend on regionalism. If a woman or an object or a human doesn't sound like one of those things.
