[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 1891435, member: 24459"] honestly i just didnt convey my thoughts clearly. I understand the idea of states rights. I hold the opinion that individual rights trump states right. For example, the right to bear arms and the states right to have a militia. The feds have assimilated our militias, in a round about way, but cannot assimilate our individual right to bear arms. Where im going with this is, as long as the Fed Govt can grant "sovernty" to individual states, the Fed Gov will determine what States Rights are. To me Rights either exist as something inherent to us as citizens, across all 50 states eqaully or the thing we claim as States Rights are actually not inherent and can be modified. IMO one cannot experience freedom unless any and all individual rights can be universally excercized across the entire US. We are US citizens first, state citizens second. Dunno if that helps but its as good as i care to do on a forum,lol. [/QUOTE]
