Bryan Fischer’s unique perspective on State’s Rights
Gov. Rick Perry has been castigated by some conservatives and 10th Amendment aficionados for his public support of federal amendments to protect the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.
They accuse him of abandoning his commitment to federalism, states’ rights, and the 10th Amendment and committing unpardonable Tea Party heresy in the process
But to consider amending the federal Constitution as an abandonment of the 10th Amendment and states’ rights absurd.
You can’t get any more ‘states’ rights’ than amending the Constitution, for one simple reason: only the states can amend the Constitution in the first place.
Unless proponents can get voters in 38 states to agree with them, our supreme legal document remains unchanged.
So apparently, State’s rights mean as long as you can get a majority of states to change the Constitution, all the other state are forced to fall in line. Who knew?
