    It’s way worse than that.

    They essentially crippled the standing for citizens to sue the states for violating their rights, so long as the states violate them the right way.

    Obergefell v. Hodges was decided based on the Equal Protection Clause. This is the second ruling in the last few days that seems to go directly against that idea. I am honestly worried they are going to use these rulings as an argument that you don’t have to treat people the same in every state and overturn equal marriage among other things.

    Similar terrible rulings regarding slaves and where they were legal and not legal were part of what led to the US civil war.

    The filibuster is only used to block things republicans and centrist democrats don’t want to happen.

    It has been used once since trump took office, to block nothing.
