State Rights

Colored people for state-rights? They are obviously masochists

Actually, I have a rule : If you are Jewish, a woman and/or part of the melanin brigade, you cannot justify state rights in any way, shape or form. Sorry. Nope. Can't do.

You might as well go out, buy yourself a box cutter and start slicing yourself before you rationalize state rights. Why? Because they're synonymous to slavery, internment camps and husbandry privilege. Plain and simple.

This is really interesting. I would love to find out how many times he has said the idea of "common sense", "real world" but most importantly tradition, discipline, faithful to the law and read on that one, state law.

Again, the stress of rule of law is not about precedent. It's all about state rights.

Is this about the South still looking to win the Civil War?
