They are making the point that "states rights" is empty hypocritical talking point. It is meant to win argument by pretending you care about something you don't. Everybody knows "state rights" imply conservative policies, but don't apply to anyone else. |

Is that right? Has there been a widespread backlash on the states' rights grounds against, say, Colorado or Massachusetts legalizing marijuana despite it being classified as a Schedule I drug federally with no acceptable use?
How about sanctuary city or state laws? Those in support of such policies base it on the concept of shared sovereignty between federal vs. state and local governments, i.e. states' rights. So there's clearly liberal or progressive uses of states' rights, in addition to conservative uses.
