    it’s only a matter of time before the supreme court forces new york to comply; i hope that the doctor is prepared for this and finds another way to help with protecting themself.

    when slavery was a thing, the shitty laws from shitty states to reclaim escaped slaves took primacy over laws from abolitionist states that would have protected them due to the supreme court and it took a war to overcome it.

      The US Supreme Court can’t currently do what you say without a law change at the federal level.

      Also, the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery (mostly) was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865 after the end of the US Civil War.

          The supreme court wants some pretence of law otherwise their cushy jobs might be at risk. It’s why the somewhat push back on Trump

          I didn’t think about what matters to SCOTUS at all.

          The law still matters to people and that’s what’s important. Only after we, abandon the rule of law will there be a complete breakdown of society and a descent into chaos and anarchy.

          I know from all the doom posting I see on Lemmy that many don’t, but I still have hope.

            We’ve been literally dismantling the first amendment (Establishment clause particularly). And the fourteenth (the whole fucking thing by EO).
