Constitutional amendments are ratified by the states. Which means the states agree with them. Why would you remove an amendment, that was agreed on by the states, as an example of states rights?
If anything, that's an example of statism.
Really? What about all the "states rights!!!" freepers demanding the repeal of the 17th amendment? Do you agree with them? Last time I checked, it was ratified by the states, which means the states themselves voluntarily agreed to give up their right to appoint U.S. Senators. Do you think the repeal of the 17th would be an example of statism? Or do you think it would a victory for "states right!!!" If it's the latter, how do you explain your conflicting beliefs that repeal of the 2nd would be "statism"?
