Since when is the sovereignty of the States a poor basis for self-government and liberty?

State sovereignty is not superior to the God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty and private property.

Two questions:

One, would you prefer to deal with nine Americans in black robes in Washington or your state government?

Two, if another country's government was committing what you perceived as morally reprehensible (yet perfectly legal, according to that country's laws) acts, yet not in any way committing acts of violence (war) against the United States, would you support using U.S. military and other resources to enter into that country, overthrow its government, and force those within its jurisdiction to cease acting in such a manner?
