Right now the Constitution has gone very far out of whack and balance. Power has shifted from the balanced State-Federal equation. It is now heavily weighted toward the federal side.
To correct it, a reassertion of State's Rights is beginning to be heard. Unfortunately "States' Rights" is now a code=word meaning "no civil rights for blacks." The term has been completely co-opted, making anyone calling for States' Rights a "racist."
In the popular view, the ultimate expression of States' Rights was the founding of the Confederacy, inextricably bound up with slavery.
Actually, the principle of states rights was used by Northern states to ignore the Fugitive slave act.
Don’t surrender because of lies.
