Most things in the US aren't laws. They generally rule by executive order or Supreme Court rulings and most laws that are created get overridden by one of these two.
They also think that they have a right to your body- specifically, to force you to adhere to their own chosen system of values (primarily a hypermacho, misogynist, faux-Christian, strictly binary system).
Tell Texas this. They celebrate putting people to death.
Supreme Court ruled that finding new evidence of innocence does not by itself justify a death row appeal. Bite me
Both Federal and Tribal law exists on tribal land. They didn't suddenly go Mad Max. Why the *fuck* do you think you know better?
Not in this case, pedant.
Well, no, they aren't.
Just so we are clear. There is no law banning slavery in the US
You can argue that they should belong under tribal law, but that is not the case. The status quo before this ruling is that neither the state not tribes have jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-natives on Indian land, and are effectively required to ask the federal government to prosecute. Having tribal law apply regardless of who you are was not on the table.
That's not a terribly accurate summary, and also isn't an answer to what I said.
Not if you're not part of the tribe.
Close enough to demonstrate that the statement I was responding to is dumb. The idea that the US states need to be more uniform than nations elsewhere is baseless and stupid and overall ignorant of the intended design of the United States of America.
And you think the tribe doesn't like this because...?
Nah. You tried a stupid pedant trick. You're fooling nobody if you think people will believe that you think certain states should be allowed to have "murder" be legal. You'd federalize a ban in a heartbeat.
..So, what? If a Mississippi woman is pregnant, she's not allowed to fly out of the state? I'm sure that would go over well for anyone who has family out of state...
The source is apparently a comedian, so this might be satire. (The problem is just how plausible it is.)
I mean, there will inevitably come a time when abortion is as illegal as infanticide the world over. That's going to happen, it'll just likely happen in pieces, rather than by a single sweeping order.
So you look forward to the day when children and SA victims are forced to give birth? I suppose you can do what Catholics do best,just as long as there's a septic tank close to hand.
Yes and no. When a nation's components parts become sufficiently different, it will cease to be a single nation.

I'm honestly starting to wonder if it would be better if the US became less centralized at this point. Give each state more independence, let stuff get done, etc.
No matter how you end that sentence odds are good that you'll end up being wrong, in particular when talking about sociology.
He's also looking forward to global economic stagnation, an increase in child abuse, increases in suicide, poverty etc. But it's all worth it if zealots can feel vindicated in their beliefs.
