Except for the small problem that he's right. States have powers. Individuals have rights.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".
As I said to the other guy making a big deal about this, you are dealing in SEMANTICS. The federeal government is a government of limited and enumerated powers. The states hold the majority of the power in this country, or at least that's the way it is supposed to be. Don't pervert what I'm saying and try to infer from my mention of states' rights that I think states are superior to the people and that the people's rights are subservient to those of the state. It is the opposite, but that is OBVIOUS. The people exercise their wishes through their elected state legislatures and executive. The states have broad power to enact legislation.
