I believe in States' rights, I also believe in life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I believe when one conflict with the other States' rights lose.
That why I believe Lincoln actions was correct in 1861, there states rights was also used to defend the southern states' right to practice slavery. The federal government has every right and duty to step in and put a stop to a state government that acts to deprives its citizens of life and liberty without due process.
Bigtime ditto.
