After all, federal law does trump state law. The problem has been the proliferation and scope of federal law. Yes, there were dribs and drabs of federal power grab along the way, but it did not kick into high gear until FDR

The states wanted that "right to leave" in the Constitution or they wouldn't ratify it.
You have NO "rights" if you don't have the right to leave. You are a SLAVE. A peer can walk away from a one-sided arrangement...a slave cannot. The states are SLAVES to the federal government. They have NO choice once the corrupt, bought and paid for SCOTUS rules against them.
Their MOST important "right" vanished when Lincoln attacked them for exercising their Constitutional right to secede.

He is not interested in constructive dialog at all . He just wants to stir people up. He is a first class coward who is no doubt very very afraid to reveal what his real name is .
You have to feel sorry for someone when this is their only human contact and source of joy .

You think I'm CNM? Really? We couldn't be more different.
I'm all for constructive dialog, lets have some. You disagree that it was Lincoln and his forbidding the states to exercise secession that took away states rights? If you can't walk away when conditions get "intolerable" for you, WHAT are you? An equal? If you can't walk away, you can't leave, you have no rights. EVERYTHING that happens to you is at their whim.
Please...respond. Explain to me how prisoners have rights. The states became prisoners to the federal government via Lincoln. They cannot leave no matter how authoritarian the feds become.
It's not racial, you can speak freely.
