    Personally I kinda wish that power that Congress refuses to wield shouldn’t be pushable to the executive but instead decays back to the states. Basically cedeing power to the presidency should be effectively impossible, but power decaying back to the states should be the norm.

      I can’t wait for the yanks to rub in my face that “AcKsHuAlLy, MeDiCaL mEtH iS lEgAl In WeSt ViRgInIa” while ignoring that women initiating divorce is illegal in idaho.

      EDIT: maybe I fucked it up, but it’s already intolerable when shitheads brag about “The USA has legal weed” when it’s in certain states with many restrictions, and ignore all the shit that other states ban, like abortion. Or, permit, like child marriage.
