    Why are federal shitbags allowed to tamper with state dams? Isn’t their whole thing about “states’ rights?” No, wait, that was actually about owning people. My bad.

      No no no, States Rights was never about owning people.

      The CSA constitution outright said states couldn’t make laws stopping people from owning people.

      States Rights came up post LBJ with the Republican Southern Strategy to tell all the former dixiecrats ‘You should vote for us because the national government took away your states rights to legally be racist shitbags’

      I actually have no problem with dams being controlled as federal resources by the Army Corps or Engineers. Rarely does a waterway or its water table effects start and end in one state. My problem is that we have evil dipshits at the helm.
