So much for states' rights.

[progressive hunter]

They rarely do. They used to say they do. I agree that it is no longer about principles (with either party), it's all about power.

so you admit the OP is full of shit and I was right,,

thanks for your honesty,,

He is stating the obvious. The GOP claimed to be for something but not longer really cares about it when it doesn't suit their desire for power.

Why is it this whole thread seems to be so completely ignorant?

There is no such thing as "states rights".
States can never have "rights".
States have "jurisdictions".
So do the federal government and local governments.
Jurisditions are NOT rights.
ONLY individuals have or can have rights.
Governments then use those individual rights as their justification for the authority they get from defending those delegated rights.
But no level of government ever itself has or could have any "rights".

for one this isnt just a state issue and 2nd the GOP hasnt claimed states rights in decades,, some members might have but the party as a whole has been against it for decades,,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

you arent responding to them now you started a thread against one party and completely ignored the other which is far worse on the subject,,

This thread was about a current court case and the party behind it. That is the topic of this thread.

Oddly enough it was the Dems that wanted to leave it in the states' hands this time.

I dont see this as a state issue since it effects several states and the country as a whole from the results,,

but you feel free to rant,, its fun to watch,,

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday reinstated for now a Trump-era rule that had curtailed the power of states and Native American tribes to block pipelines and other energy projects that can pollute rivers, streams and other waterways.


So much for the GOP being the party of states' rights.

The Trump-era rule removed the power of the states and the SCOTUS let it stand for now until the rule is rewritten.

The SCOTUS ruling is correct as the judge did not have the power to stop it.

Too bad we do not have a party that actually believes in the idea of states' rights.

Conservatives are infamous for their hypocrisy.

The great thing about living in a free country, we can disagree and not have to kill each other.

Both sides are infamous for their hypocrisy. It is not regulated to one side or the other

I have no doubt you feel that way. You like most mindless partisan sheep want everyone to look and act and think just like you.

the dems have gone far beyond just disagreeing,, now they are forcing their agenda on people that dont want it as is the GOP,,,

when you move from disagreement to force all bets are off,,

Yep, both sides are doing it. Yet you are blindly loyal to one and hate the other.

Weird.

I'm not loyal to either side,, now you on the other hand seem to only support the dems and keep repeating their lies,,

Conservatives flush "states' rights" down the toilet when it comes to firearm regulatory measures as well.


Such is the right's hypocrisy.

since states have no regulatory authority on gun rights your premise is a lie,,

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I have been standing on the hill above the two sheep pens trying to tell you people this for 3 decades.

But you keep on voting for the same old same old

I don't know. You sound like the good lib. Lol.

No they don't. Our constitution gives all states the right to own firearms.

If Republicans didn't lie, they'd have nothing to say!

The innerweb irony meter just exploded.
