They’re pointing out how obviously ridiculous the court’s claim is. There’s no room or need for an intelligent rebuttal because the Michigan Sup. Court’s opinion was not intelligently made.
Which kind of states’ rights are you referring to – the kind that caused the Civil War or the enumerated and unenumerated powers granted to the various states with regard to limited self governance? Assuming the latter, a state has the power to restrict its own authority it is also limited by that state’s own Constitution and the US Constitution as well as many other laws, rules, regulations, and established principles. Michigan has different laws than Colorado. The Michigan Supreme Court correctly found that it is not empowered to remove a candidate from a political party’s primary election ballot.
I genuinely do not understand what is difficult about this. It would seem the average Lemmy user’s lack of understanding of the law is only matched by that same group’s certainty of their mastery of it.
Do I smell capitulation?
No jurisdiction within their own state, within their own state. State Supreme Court. No jurisdiction. Within their own state.
Do you have a cogent argument or are you just going to say words?

OWN STATE! STATE! NO… COURT! JURISDICTION NO! OWN STATE! RRRRAAAARR! [throws lunch tray, kicks over chair]
So I was right, the argument is that a state Supreme Court exercises unlimited authority within that state’s borders.
What a horribly stupid take.
Isn’t that what state’s rights is all about?
Do you believe that only certain things should be state’s rights?
Who decides which is which and if it’s the feds that do that would that mean that states have no rights?

I didn’t think my question was as difficult as you’re making it out to be.
The more interesting part is do you think yourself as an average Lemmy user?
Those words are their argument.
