      States right to do fucking nothing apparently. Just activate their guard and occupy their cities, completely legal.

        States’ rights in this case is a dogwhistle for slavery, which is proven when people can’t answer which rights they refer to when they mention it.

        It’s also BS in current political debates because Republicans use it whenever they don’t like federal law, arguing state law is applicable, but when it’s reversed, federal law always wins for some reason.
