We're seeing red states go crazy with laws that blatantly violate the Constitution, especially the 1st Amendment. Drag show/pride parades banned and transgender kids kidnapped in Florida, Texas requiring schools to have Bible study and 10 commandments, etc.
Isn't the Executive branch supposed to go after states that violate the Constitution? I've seen no attempts to hold these red states accountable.

(94,725 posts)The DOJ is able to manage multiple investigations. However States passing laws aren't automatically subject to DOJ jurisdiction.
DOJ isn't the keeper of the Constitution; it represents the Administration.

(24,319 posts)because Florida made it illegal to to have men in drag where children are present. And I've never seen a pride parade without some men in drag.
I'm sure a lot of these laws will get eliminated as they wind their way through the courts.
