6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I’ve not heard of it before

    It’s republicans grandstanding to impress their racist base.

    It’s technically sedition and if democrats wanted to they could arrest or kill them all, but they are cowards.

    So instead it will just blow over. It’s nothing. It will lead to nothing. It’s just stupid pandering for racist scum.

          Wouldn’t even be necessary: the best parallel is Alabama using its National Guard to block school integration, then Eisenhower federalizing the Guard and eventually arresting the governor when he physically stood in the way.

          Even such an obvious precedent that would involve zero violence is apparently too much for Biden to handle.

      Yeah, i agree with this. Its technically a huge thing, a real constitutional crisis if this was a functioning government. But even in something like this, its not even meant to be real politics, just pandering. Like these libs and chuds will literally take their pandering to what should be the brink, but its ultimately empty and meaningless
