Republicans are all about states rights until they are in power. Then they are all about do what we say or we are coming for you.
This is starts rights, unless I'm misunderstanding.
It's only state rights in the senses that it's eroding them.
. . . What exactly do you think "starts rights" means?
Because it refers to the right of states to pass laws for their own inhabitants, and the federal government had no right to interfere except in the specific cases the constitution says that it can. In this case, Texas is trying to pass laws for its own inhabitants, and trying to keep the federal government from interfering because the constitution doesn't specifically call out this area for federal oversight.
Setting aside for a moment their specific goal, this is exactly in line with their stated value of "starts rights."
Republicans do plenty of terrible things to criticize them for, and they never miss a good chance to be hypocritical, but it's odd that you're calling them out for hypocrisy on one of the very rare cases when they are not.
So you're just going to completely misread an article and make an ass of yourself and not even own up to it?
I think state rights should mean that a state has the ability the challenge the laws that govern it. This bill specifically has wording to prevent that, it's the entire reason this article was posted. Please explain to me how stripping a states population of its rights to challenge a bill that governs them is suppose to be for their rights?
It's trying to prevent state judges from challenging that law.
Ah, right. I must have been blinded by how stupid it is to put "can't challenge this in court" into a law.
They want to make it illegal to take a minor across state lines for a legal procedure, for one thing.

I think it's already illegal to take minors across state lines without parental consent.
