did no one loving bring this up

the entire history of the Reconstruction amendments has been a ceaseless struggle between Congress and the courts, one that's usually been pretty one-sided due to political division in Congress

those amendments explicitly grant Congress the simple and broad power to pass laws to enforce them as they see fit, likely for the explicit purpose of preventing the Court from using "states rights" as an excuse to strike down civil rights laws. the Supreme Court absolutely never gave the slightest gently caress about that, and spent the next 150 years trying to narrow and erode that authority whenever possible. and with the Southerners allowed back in Congress, there was never sufficient political will to challenge the Court over it

edit: they're still going to say bernie bro, because centrists are unimaginative

and also because they're too misogynist to give her credit as a movement leader, a successful politician, or anything more than a "Bernie follower"

in addition, dont forget that the court's power to nullify laws in the first place is not mentioned anywhere in the constitution and was wholly invented by the supreme court themselves in marbury v madison

both parties have been selling out their voters and going back on promises so long that all of our important political thinkers have convinced themselves that voters getting pissed off at the party in power for breaking their promises and making everything worse and not showing up for the next election, leading to the other party sailing in, and this process repeating every election or two like clockwork, is the natural order of things

A lot of places have historical mask laws that were originally drafted to use against the KKK. Some places still have them. C’ville - and Virginia - are one of those places, and the blac bloc was not really used there last year. I wrote a post about it last year in the alt right thread (and brought a mask anyway).

New York has anti-mask laws on the books from the 19th century, when the nascent labor movement would mask up during demonstrations so their bosses couldn't identify and fire them.
