So much for "states' right's". When it served the right wing (like
segregation and keeping "coloreds" from voting in the south), all we
heard was "states' right's" arguments from their side because without
the white sheets and hoods they didn't want to openly show their
racism. (Now it's about "Christian" and private schools in the south
to make segregation work).
Simple Hypocrites, closet fascists.
