I didn't think so. But I'd think if you were gonna embrace the Constitution, which I think is a goos thing, you'd become familiar with it. Read Article 6, Clause 2.

Do you have a point?

The usual observation made by one of FR's 'states rights' crowd is that somehow our States are not obligated to support the individual rights outlined in the Constitution/BOR's.

The usual nonsense from libertarians who have nothing against rules and laws as long as they are your rules and laws and enforced by an overly strong central government.
