Not knowing US constitutional law, it seems to me the SCOTUS decision might mean that the Dems missed an opportunity when they had the house
That it’s a federal matter seems legally predictable/natural to me, and that it then falls to congress to enforce then also seems natural.
What am I missing on that?
Otherwise, what would the Dems have had to lose by passing an act when they had the house? The 14th was right there.
This is really the issue. Republicans are kind of die-hard party voters in Congress. The Dems had a few turds in the punchbowl who wouldn’t do the right thing.
