To be honest, it's kind of unbelievable how just in the time of
Win11's being current, we've seen this manifest.  I liked Win11 when I
first used it.  I would *never* *think* of going back to M$, now.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
