Five states legalized abortion before Roe.
The northeast legalized gay marriage before Obergfell.
Half the states adopted the exclusionary rule before Mapp.
States have invalidates sentencing laws upheld by SCOTUS under their own 8A equivalents.
Etc etc etc etc.

“SCOTUS only sets the floor” is worth remembering in a lot of different contexts.
Feel like it’s important to note here that SCOTUS’s only job here is setting the floor.
If future Fed admins don’t want to let this happen, they can put it in the contract.
And if POTUS won’t do that, Congress can pass a law that requires pay.
This is a case that is easy to negate SCOTUS on.

Take the time.
Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.
That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right.
It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵
