This headline is utter garbage. I will fix it.

Executive Orders are not backed up by force of law.
A Central tenet of the Republican Party—like, forever—has been that this is central to American federalism.
This is a GOP 180.
I ask because the Australian Federal system is not dissimilar to the US system. Australian state constitutions can be overruled by the Australian Constitution if they're in conflict per section 109.
They can shove all of it up their asses. The time for talking is over.
States’ rights are only for bigotry.
The Republican Party is the home for those who have taken the American spirit of individualism to its most pathological extreme. It is the party of pure selfishness.
Whites over non-Whites.
Men over women.
“Christians” over non.
Rich over poor.
They’ve abandoned state’s rights, law and order, national security, fiscal responsibility… everything else.
They're doing their best to shift to 'States need to look after themselves', but STILL can't leave them to work best for their own populations.
Genuine threat of Secession is, sadly, a much needed kick to get this administration either back on track, or, more simply, out.
Go figure 🤷‍♀️
There is a lot of defiance coming out of the northeast toward trump.
I am 100% on board with that. That disgraceful stain on our nation, and felon, has served himself his whole life the only way he knows how, by the abuse of power.

Red States: "I am suing the Biden administration because I don't want federal food dollars going to POC or LGBTQ kids. This is DEI, CRT Madness!"
That's why no kids ate.
Discrimination. Capitalism.
Corruption.
Republicans.
Funny how states rights were fine for government control over a women's body, but not when it comes to something the fascist don't like.
Maine will invoke the states rights case ruling by SCOTUS and Nazi barbie can fuck off.
They ARE NOW sending innocent people out of the country and AGAINST court orders!
The Trump felon criminal committing crimes as we all knew he would!
You just get there 4 years later than most.
If you live in these swing states, get out to your senator's local offices and urge Trump is impeached and removed. If you're from out of state, try calling. all the traitors who voted Trump "not guilty" https://www.senate.gov/.../vote1171/vote_117_1_00059.htm
Ignore the court order
