    When a conservative says “states rights” they actually mean “localized tyranny” within any locality they control. That’s why they instantly apply the tyranny at a federal level whenever they are in control.

      When a regressive says, “states’ rights,” they actually mean, “we tried and failed to legislate this at a federal level.” You are absolutely right.
