The "State's Rights" crowd is also generally synonymous with the "Rule of Law" crowd. I don't see hypocrisy in supporting the application of law as it is written while opposing the existence of said law itself. Laws are not immutable and there's a process for changing/repealing them (legislation) as well as a separate process for invalidating them based on constitutional merit (judicial). Until both those processes have been tried, I don't see this as an innately hypocritical viewpoint.
