The title is correct, but irrelevant. Those states rights were a casualty of the aftermath of the civil war, Holmes' idiotic extension of the Interstate Commerce clause, Eisenhower's sending federal troops in response to Jim Crow, and innumerable other assaults on the 10th Amendment.

Most of those calling for state's rights in this case oppose the concept when it interfers with laws they like. The same with the general welfare and interstate commerce clauses.
The old phrase is true...to be free, you must allow others to be free as well.
