Speak for yourself. I run into "states rights trumps unalienable rights" types every day. And that is exactly the position McCain holds. Ron Paul too.
You may fool some, but you won't fool me.
No one is trying to fool you. You are fooling yourself by not listening carefully to the arguments being made. You bring up a straw man of “states rights trumps unalienable rights types” since there are none on this thread. It would be more useful to the discussion to stick to the arguments that exist here rather than bringing in bogeymen to make your point. What I have said is not “states rights trumps unalienable rights.” Nothing trumps unalienable rights. That is not the issue regardless of how insistent you are that it is. The issue is where does the legal authority lie?
