It almost impossible to prosecute a hunting accident. We used to joke that if you wanted to take somebody out, and get away with it, take them hunting.
You're right. States Rights are merely part of the process to guarantee liberty. When that process is used to hinder liberty, then the process is tainted.
I recognize that. But I'm one who lays the blame on the people for not fixing a process that's clearly broken. We've allowed our legislatures (Congress & State) to shirk their responsibility by abdicating their authority to the Judicial (Activism) and the Executive (Administrative Law). Either way, the only way to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity is to fix the Government, not destroy the Government.
