And your point is? - Do you agree we have fundamental rights that cannot be violated by any level of government?

Yes, I've always agreed with that.
What I don't agree with is the view that the federal government (at least pre-14th amendment) was given the power to keep states in line in that regard.

Why is this USSC protection of fundamental rights a 'problem'?
-- I always end up asking 'states rightists' this same question..

I didn't say it was.

The power necessary to accomplish that, however, is a problem, because that power can be abused.

Why do you see the power given to the USSC to protect our fundamental rights as the 'problem', -- rather than it's abuse by politicians?

Why not fight for the restoration of honoring constitutional basics, --- by throwing the bums out.. -- Rather than fighting for mythical 'states rights'?

It's abused by both judges and politicians. And I certainly favor throwing out the skanky political class, at all levels of government - as well as impeaching judges who abuse their authority.
