states' rights

Read a random definition: del credere factor

A quick definition of states' rights:

States' Rights: This means that the states have certain powers that the federal government does not have. These powers are listed in the Tenth Amendment. It also means that the federal government cannot take away certain rights that belong to the states.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: States' rights refer to the powers and privileges that are reserved for individual states within the United States. These rights are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor are they prohibited to the states.

Example: One example of states' rights is the ability of individual states to regulate certain aspects of their own economies. For instance, some states may choose to set their own minimum wage rates or establish their own environmental regulations. Another example is the ability of states to determine their own laws regarding issues such as gun control or same-sex marriage.

These examples illustrate the concept of states' rights because they demonstrate how individual states have the power to make decisions that are specific to their own needs and values, without interference from the federal government. This allows for greater flexibility and diversity within the United States, as different states can experiment with different policies and approaches to governance.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
