I didn't think so. But I'd think if you were gonna embrace the Constitution, which I think is a goos thing, you'd become familiar with it. Read Article 6, Clause 2.

Do you have a point?

The usual observation made by one of FR's 'states rights' crowd is that somehow our States are not obligated to support the individual rights outlined in the Constitution/BOR's.

Which is nice but totally divorced from reality. The usual nonsense from libertarians who have nothing against rules and laws as long as they are your rules and laws and enforced by an overly strong central government.

By the way, states don't have 'rights', they have powers assigned to them by the Constitution. You knew that, right?
