Wonder how Indiana’s law would comport with the Constitution’s full faith and credit clause (basically how gay marriage came about) when a transgender person born outside of Indiana but has updated their birth certificate relocates to Indiana. Birth certification is a power reserved to the states under the 10th Amendment. So, SCOTUS can’t set an interviening rule about how birth certificates are to be written if a dispute arises between the states on this.

    The US Congress should be abolished and replaced with a Parliament that is responsible to the people.

      Parliamentary systems are substantially more susceptible to facism and nationalism than multicameral legislatures with a separate executive.

      And they’re hardly proof against the sort of gerrymandering that makes the US House less responsive to general election voters than it should be.
