Didn't those same folks scream state's rights all the damn time instead of getting better healthcare (in addition to cleaner water, less pollution from heavy metals, better consumer protections, etc)?

The ACA would have been stupendous if it hadn't been demonized by special interests which successfully fought it to the point of considerably weakening it.

Now what? No more state's rights because they're inconvenient for ideological reasons?

Is this the right time to be placing a spot light on this?

Another unfortunate act of pettiness to block attempts to repair clear harm dealt

The federal government has the primary responsibility for reparations, but it’s evading that responsibility by invoking sovereign immunity to block claims. Evanston’s responsibility is secondary at best, but is an illuminating example that is an embarrassment to the federal government which it is attempting to silence.

You should be proud of this. You are getting his attention. I doubt that Trump even understands what reparation is.
