Louisiana house votes to criminalize abortion pills
We got some important constitutional amendments after the Slaver army went home, but we really should have made certain we had one declaring that this is a UNION, not an assemblage of spare parts, broken toys, dashed hopes, & dreams of aristocracy.
in doing so, we should have made changes to the way we do things governmentally, like eliminating federal deference to state decisions (which enabled Jim Crow for more than a century), like allowing the state sovereignty idea to ferment into the current situation, where partisan dominance of states allows partisan power to wag the national dog, where “private sponsorships“ wield more influence on policy, the economy, our elections, and the work of Congress & the courts than the people who do the bulk of the living, dying, working, & voting
IOW, I guess, it may be time to unify the constitutions of the states so that, anywhere you go in the USA, it’s just like being in the USA; expand SCROTUS to 13 ((current # of circuit courts) so they can drop the ‘R’); and either retire the electoral college, rework it, or replace it
