Too bad not one of them has the loyalty to the Constitution to just say the truth, which is that a matter like this is and should be a matter for the states to decide. But that ship sailed long ago, with the left pushing to force sodomite mirage on every state.

There’s one problem with that, that being this having less to do with the Tenth Amendment and more to do with the “republican form of government” clause of Article 4 section 2.

Since, as John Adams pointed out, the US “Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people (and) it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”, letting state governments go socialistic (away from republican) undermines a union of states; but of course people like Ryan are just fine with the entire system going socialist.
