Reverend Jerkson needs a history lesson on the use of the federal government to preserve the instution of slavery during the years leading up to the War of 1861, Reconstruction and the origin of Jim Crow laws before he pipes off about states's rights
Disparaging states' rights...or, in other words, the decentralization of power...while celebrating the all-powerful central government... a favorite pastime of tyrants everywhere:
[The] individual states of the American Union . . . could not have possessed any state sovereignty of their own. For it was not these states that formed the Union, on the contrary it was the Union which formed a great part of such so-called states....Certainly all the states in the world are moving toward a certain unification in their inner organization. And in this Germany will be no exception. Today it is an absurdity to speak of a ‘state sovereignty’ of individual provinces....In particular we cannot grant to any individual state within the nation and the state representing it state sovereignty and sovereignty in point of political power....National Socialism as a matter of principle, must lay claim to the right to force its principles on the whole German nation without consideration of previous federated state boundaries
--Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf
Both are tyrants.
Schumer talks states' rights, women's rights, civil rights, privacy rights, victims' rights....Those who have read the Constitution know the only rights are individual rights but "Scumer" appears to not know that. Makes you wonder if such statements are pandering or true ignorance.
