State's rights is a minority party issue...

David Boaz explores the rise and fall of the conservative movement dedicated to strengthening a concept usually explained by the term 'States' rights'.

I have often said that States' rights are not a platform of either party anymore, but rather a tool used by the minority party in Washington to stall the majority from moving forward with its agenda.

Where does that leave voters who truly believe in the original intent of the 9th and 10th amendments?

Well, we could "waste" our vote on a 3rd party candidate like the Constitution Party or the Libertarian Party.

Or we could continue deluding ourselves that Republican and conservative are synonyms. As for me, I vote for the former...
