Nonsense. NO entity, mom, State, Uncle Mo, gets to violate another’s constitutional rights.

Can the KKK set up road blocks to keep blacks from voting if SC decides it likes the KKK.

Can Oregon allow doctors to execute any patient over 65 who needs a knee replacement?

Can Hawaii turn a blind eye if the ‘native’ population goes on a vigilante confiscation of “whitey” property?

Your medical treatment example is a straw man. The constitution does not address medical care, and therefore that is (or needs to be) entirely a state/individual matter. Just as SHOULD be 80% of what the feds have put their paws in.

The Constitution does address voting, gun ownership, LIFE, property, due process, etc etc, which neither the states, nor towns, nor counties, not homeowners associations, nor vigilantes, nor cousin Zeke, can violate.

Yes, under the US Constitution it is up to the states to pass laws on all those three private interactions, not the Federal government. If you don't like their laws and cant change them (because of the other state voters) then you can MOVE to a better state. Once you hand unlimited power over to the Federal government, as now, they can do ANYTHING they want and your only option is to flee the country.

This is why constitutional arguments against Obama dont get taken seriously, because so many Republicans want to give unlimited power to the Federal government to force things they think are right.
