Similar to the argument that Kalifornians have a state-protected right to self-defense but no right to keep and bear arms. They are expected to protect themselves from armed criminals with harsh words and stern warnings. That is, except for the top state officials for whose protection tax-payers pay millions per year.
Do you have a problem with each state deciding how they want to live? Are you more comfortable with one set of laws that apply to every state?
Perhaps I should be asking you, "Do you believe in the concept of a "republic" and agree with its implementation in the US?"
