The rights of states to exert their independence from the dictates of the federal government reaches an almost religious fervor in places like Alabama and the rest of the American South, a region of the country that seceded from the country and fought a bloody civil war over that very principle - and U.S. Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, himself a native son of Alabama, has a proud history of howling long and hard on the subject.
But now Jefferson Beauregard is employed by his old nemesis, the federal government, and suddenly his perspective has changed. Sure, he still supports the absolute rights of states when it comes to things like loosening gun laws, discriminating against women and minorities,, and holding white supremacists rallies - but in some other areas, well it's beginning to look to Jefferson B. that perhaps states should be subservient to their master's in Washington after all.
Take marijuana, for instance. Sessions knows that weed is unholy, immoral, and despicably addictive. He learned that as a mere boy in his all-white Sunday school class where he was schooled in the notion that smoking dope made the "darkies" drug-addled, lazy, and prone to crime. If they smoked enough of that demon weed they would lose sight of "their place" in society and start drinking from white water fountains and trying to ride in the front of the bus.
Even though the federal government still has laws on the books prohibiting the possession, use, and sale of marijuana, many states have begun the process of legalizing it within their borders - a clear assertion of their "states' rights," a process that many of Sessions' ilk fear will lead to social upheaval. (And social upheaval is always frowned upon by those sitting on top of the social pile.)
J. Beauregard also has problems with states that make it easier for women to act on their constitutional right to have an abortion. He knows, knows by God, that the good Lord expects his followers here on Earth of defend to the death the right of all fetuses to live in the warmth and comfort of their mother's womb until the day they are born - regardless of the circumstances of their conception (incest, rape, etc), their health, or the health of their mothers. God has willed it, by God! Carry those little darlings until they are born, and then let the bastards and moochers fend for themselves!
And now America's favorite Granny Clampett clone, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is suing the state of California because it has passed a series of laws protecting immigrants, actions which Sessions and his right-wing Justice Department see as impeding federal efforts to round-up and deport those same hard working, tax-paying individuals. The state of California is exerting what it sees as its right as a state, but the attorney general of the United States is saying "No way, Jose."
In the very little mind of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions states reign supreme when their intent matches his own, otherwise they are challenging the supremacy of the government of the United States of America - in much the same way as his ancestors did.
Little man, you are a gigantic hypocrite!
