Comments on: States’ Rights Showdown, Texas Style http://athousandnations.com/2009/07/28/states-rights-showdown-texas-style/ Towards a Cambrian Explosion in Government Tue, 29 May 2012 02:19:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Chris Col http://athousandnations.com/2009/07/28/states-rights-showdown-texas-style/#comment-578 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:40:35 +0000 http://athousandnations.com/?p=509#comment-578 I have reservations about that phrase, “states’ rights.” States don’t have rights; people do. I think that “state prerogatives” would be better, or “state sovereignty.”

I guess what I am trying to say is, don’t rule out the 10th amendment here. Of course one still needs a majority of SCOTUS to agree with my point of view for that to happen….
