Don’t you take it as “self-evident” that all your people are created

You're asking a lot of these people, if you saw the J6 committee
hearings, you know that a uniformed, black Capitol police offer was
called the N- word by a rioter, because he said he voted for Pres.
Biden.  This is the kind of lunacy the rural redneck voters display.

It seems to me, that would have been less of a problem if in fact every
vote counted equally. Because such vile bigots are always going to be in
the minority. It is the Electoral College that magnifies the importance of
votes such as theirs beyond their rightful value.

Yeah, if we assume that the 2020 popular vote would've been about the
same in a true national election, Biden won by a good amount, and yet
it was still remarkably close in the state-by-state race.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
