While Moore and his lawyers argued that the Ten Commandments monument was permitted under the First Amendment, the legal battleground ultimately shifted to a fight over states' rights — to the dismay of some of the judge's supporters.

In large measure, the Civil War was fought to settle the issue of whether the federal government was sovereign over state governments. In the 1950s and 1960s, during the civil rights movement, Alabama and other pro-segregation states in the South raised the same issue — also without success.

The question was settled at Gettysburg and at Appomattox — it's time to stop re-fighting the states'-rights battle.

No it was, just cause there have been a few skrimishes in the constitionality of states rights.

The pesky 10th amendment still exits.

Well that's one view. Here's another.

It's time to stop worshiping at the altar of the elitist, asshole oligarchs in robes.
