Both sides love States Rights until a State does something they disagree with.
And no one seems to care about states rights as long as the federal government is doing something they agree with.
I don't think most people get it. Most probably have no idea what federalism is or what people mean when they talk about states rights. Of course huge numbers of people in this country couldn't even name the vice president or the attorney general.
That's why it is so important for our Supreme Court to do the right thing and defend the Constitution. The masses don't get it and they don't know what they are losing when the federal government is allowed to usurp the authority of the states. By the time they do get it, it's going to be too late, if it's not already.
