@Terry @beardalaxy That’s what they want to do. That’s what they plan to do. I still wonder if it’s a step they’ll never be able to take.
That said, what are our ruling trash doing about the threat of World War T to themselves (women/wives, at least, in bathrooms) and their children???
@Terry @beardalaxy Sorry if I’m not clear; I’m not talking about what they might do, but the backlash.
Your scenario also likely doesn’t work, in that this sort of thing is a matter for the states, although I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Federal laws would have to be overturned (well, the Feds don’t have to enforce them, but that gets back to the backlash).
If there’s a state vs. Federal law mismatch, the Feds will have to take unpopular action against the states and it’ll be up to the Supreme Court to find a right to grooming in the Constitution. That would not be popular, and they do care about that.
First step would be California legalizing it; watch that gay Jew legislator in SF. But also note people like the governor of the state have national level aspirations and again this sort of thing would be much more overt than what’s his name has done so far there that would hurt them.
