Na, not really.Don't you have any reading comprehension?? States rights to limit the federal government's oppression of the states citizens. The federal government has all but fully neutered the tenth admendment...No, a state run by people who are limited to one term, and can tell the federal government to fuck off when they don't agree to their tyranny...Trust people that will strengthen the tenth admendment....
So State government. Shall we look at the record of the State?
Its fascinating that what conservatives argue for, almost universally, is more government power. And almost always, at the cost of rights.
What state is that? And who, pray tell, would check the State's tyranny?
Shall we go through the history of State abuses? They're quite horrific. And you insist we should be giving them *more* power to strip their citizens of rights.
States don't have rights. People do. You've clearly never read the 10th amendment if you're going to cite it as the basis of States having 'rights'. The word 'rights' never appears in it. States have Powers.
And you insisted that we couldn't trust the federal government because of its record. The record of the States on abusing its powers and the rights of its citizen is awful. Thus, by your own standards, we shouldn't trust the State governments either.
Yet you're arguing that the States should have *more* power to abuse their citizens and strip them of rights. Your argument is a self contradictory mess.
The citizens of each state(states rights) should be able to tell the federal government to fuck off on such things like Obamacare, gun control etc.
Because the federal government does not know what is best for the country After all... Career politicians and their puppet masters own the federal government.
