No flames....
This doesn’t directly affect the states-rights position.
The bill of rights establishes (then requires) that governments respect the rights of the people; ALL governments.
The 10th Amendment requires that the FedGov keep its grubby paws OFF issues that were not part of its founding mandate.
No contradiction in this at all.
okay, thanks. i was sorta thinkin this could actually in some ways reinforce the states rights thing (indirectly, by putting the constitution as the most important). my dad wasn’t so sure. he is really suspicious of the idiot in chief.
