States rights is a ruse. The heart decides, and the head justifies. People use states rights when it is convenient, and toss it aside when it contradicts their other beliefs.
Especially because some of the "states' rights" issues involve state legislatures overruling more local jurisdiction--case in point, transgender bathroom law.
This is an unpopular position of I support, but this is exactly why I support repealing the 17th amendment and returning to indirect elections of Senators via state legislatures to bring power back to the states.
