Constitution Breakdown #7: California AG Rob Bonta

The podcast dissects Article IV of the U.S. Constitution and the 10th Amendment, focusing on the relationship between states and the federal government. It examines the Full Faith and Credit Clause, particularly in the context of same-sex marriage before and after the Obergefell decision, and the implications of the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA). The discussion covers the Privileges and Immunities Clause, extradition, and the historical Fugitive Slave Clause. It also addresses the admissions clause, the equal footing doctrine, and the property clause, using Utah's ban on polygamy as an example. The hosts explore the Guarantee Clause, the Protection Clause, and the anti-commandeering doctrine, referencing Texas's buoy barrier and potential future conflicts over states' rights.
