Guess we really are going the route of states ignoring federal rulings and laws. This might get scary in the next few years.
It is already scary now.
Deadly is the word you mean
That isn't at all what this is about. This is asserting the inability for individual states to make rulings on federal matters. This is a good thing. It's not states' place to be ruling on federal cases. Those rulings need to come from the federal level.
With every ruling the SC makes more and more states are setting themselves against the federal government. It’s becoming clear this union is not working at this point and it’s seeming inevitable that sometime in the near future we’re going to see more states than just Texas speaking of breaking away. Probably from more sides of the political spectrum and auth-right too
Commerce clause fucked us.
Unless I’m misremembering, the scope is more limited. It’s specifically allocating the right to determine federal office eligibility to the federal government and not the state.
Any other rights without precedent currently remain with the states
If that's what you think, you don't understand the situation.
