When have Conservatives used State's Righs to expand freedoms?

[Valox]

I often hear right wingers claim that decentralized power creates freedom, but why do Cons used State's Rights to take away people's rights?

The state's right argument was used by Conservatives to validate segregation. It is used by conservatives to conduct invasive vaginal probes. It is used by Conservatives to make Gays second class citizens. It is used by Conservatives to attack science and push creationism.

When have Conservatives used the "State's" Rights" argument to grant freedom rather than take it away?

The whole notion of "state's rights" began with the fight over slavery.


As in..the slave states wanted to keep their "right" to enslave human beings.

At the same time, whenever people are fighting for civil rights, healthcare, equal pay or the right to vote, it's always the Conservatives who we are fighting against. Republicans say they are against "big government" but want to legislate every aspect of American's private lives.

C'mon Cons....use your freedom loving power to grand more freedom.

Not all conservatives are reactionary conservatives.

Looking at the GOP conservatives in the North and the West who voted for and against the Civil Rights Bill. It does happen.

Reactionary conservatives, however, do their best to restrict liberty and freedom to those like themselves.
