Yes, the big dilemna. We need States Rights as a counter or check to Federal Control. It’s part of our divestment of power —makes life really difficult for tyrants. Yet, not everything we want to be equal is equal when left to State’s Rights.

Education and voting rights are two of the most blatant I can remember.

Never a dull moment in American Politics. We learn as we go, but not always very well.

The problem is that we should have learned from Loving V Virginia that you don’t leave it to the individual states to determine who can and can’t get married…

And yet 44 years later we’re still doing it.
