For those who don't know, the US system of governance has three parts: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. On the federal level, certain courts have jurisdiction over various states. Federal laws are usually supreme over state law so long as they don't conflict with separation of powers and powers delegated to the federal govt. vs. state governments.
States, are like France and England. Separate and without jurisdiction over each other's citizens. So for example, if you kill a person in NY State, courts in Connecticut have no jurisdiction over the matter. The event did not happen in Connecticut. And while killing may be illegal in Connecticut as well, that doesn't give Connecticut courts juridiction nor does the AG of Connecticut have any standing to bring a case against a NY state person who committed a crime in NY State.
As a matter of fact, if that NY state person crossed into Connecticut to hide out from NY state authorities, the CT police would only have the right to detain that person and extradite him TO NY state to answer for that crime.
So just to show you how liberals give no shits about statecraft or rule of law, the state of Connecticut is entertaining a bill that would give their court jurisdiction over other state's citizens.
"The Connecticut House of Representatives passed a pro-abortion bill on Tuesday with bipartisan support that pushes back against pro-life laws passed in several states to protect the unborn. The bill allows individuals who face legal liabilities for violating abortion statutes in other states to sue for damages in court in Connecticut."
Uh...what? Do they not understand the total can of worms that opens up?
""The bill also establishes a cause of action that allows persons who were sued in another state for allegedly providing, or receiving support for, reproductive health services that are legal in Connecticut to recover certain costs they incurred defending the original action and bringing an action under the bill," the legislation, H.B. 5414, states."

In essence they are trying to bind citizens of other states to CT law and jurisdiction. These imbeciles don't seem to realize that if passed and upheld, every state could create laws where it's citizens can sue citizens of other states for violating that states laws. It simply creates conflict.
This bill is clearly unconstitutional. These people don't care because it's about virtue signalling. But it shows the extent to which they will go to control other people. They're not satisfied with making abortion legal in THEIR state, nope they gotta go mess with others.
