Remember: States' rights are bad when it comes to abortion and civil rights, but they're good when it comes to pot. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2019900150_obamapot15m.html?prmid=head_main …
@taradinoc How does that "right" differ from a baby's "right" not to be aborted? States rights is a system. It's not about specific issues.

@cmuratori The difference is that fetuses don't have legal rights. -
@taradinoc They _would_ have in various states if federal law didn't overrule them. This is the whole point. - Show replies

@cmuratori Federalism is a system. "States' rights" is a slogan people use when they want to shift power from federal to state level.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori And whether that shift is a good thing depends on the issue. If states want more power so they can restrict rights, it's bad. -
@taradinoc Dude, seriously - you don't get to pick whether localized control is good or bad based on whether you like their decisions. - Show replies
