Suddenly, in response to Trump's latest attack on our civil liberties, see clip from today's NY Times story below, "States Rights" takes on a whole new meaning. It's our last, best protection against a Hitler-like overreach of our Constitutional Rights.
"A White House commission’s sweeping request for the personal and public data of the nation’s 200 million voters set off an avalanche of opposition by state leaders in both parties on Friday, as officials from California to Mississippi called the move an overreach and more than 20 states declared they would not comply.
"It was an inauspicious start for the panel, which was created after President Trump claimed last winter that millions of illegal votes had robbed him of a popular-vote victory over Hillary Clinton."
"'Go jump in the Gulf of Mexico,' one Mississippi state official responded."
