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.

    When I lived in the US, I didn’t find this sort of logic convincing.

    If you want to address “Republican malfeasance”, the US is going to have to address corruption and criminality and take on the oligarchs. What you describe is going to happen anyway, institutions can protect you, until the day they don’t. This is something even centre-right Americans seem to find it difficult to understand (I still have friends from the US that I talk with).

    And let’s be real, that’s very unlikely to happen in the next 20-30 years.
