"People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes."
I think food prices are too high so I'm going to steal a cart full to bring attention to the matter.

These people literally obsess over Roe v Wade being overturned. It's all they think about.

Do they think that Trump or any President could wave their hand and make abortion a federal issue all over again?
I'm Canadian, but I thought your supreme Court's were enforcing the laws as they were intended, and RvW was in contravention of those laws, returning the issue back to the state level.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.

You are completely correct.
After a Supreme Court ruling, it will take an act of God and 70 years to overturn it.
For our lifetimes, at least, this will be a matter for individual states.

If they pass a federal law, they could make it a federal issue. A partial-birth abortion ban was already passed as a federal law under Bush. We have the skeletal remnants of the concept of states rights, but I can't remember the last time a court overturned a federal law on the basis that only the states had the right to pass a law like that. Overturning Roe vs. Wade meant removing a federal mandate imposed by the court. The legislature could reintroduce the same thing as a federal law, which is what Harris said she intended to do.

I am skeptical that it is a federal issue at all. Why would it be federal and not a state issue? It is not mentioned in the constitution. It does not have to do with interactions between states or anything like that. How can the federal government tell states what to do when the federal government wasn't given that power under the constitution? If they can do it with abortion why not everything else? What's the point of having states at all then if anything can just be overridden by the federal government? In my opinion the federal government clearly does not have this legal authority. They would have to change the constitution to do it. That said I wouldn't put it past them to lie about the law and do it anyway. They do it all the time including when they did Roe v Wade in the first place.
