no
IMO that they said it - is 9 people said it (indeed on abortion not being nationally protected at all in the constitution it was 5 people who said it)

And -- overall I am not sure that all or even most issues of Economic or Political Importance belong at the state level --- in our country.

We fought a civil war and the FEDERAL gov won and laws like no slavery - etc. --- e.g. the VRA and the EPA and the Civil Rights Act - all say (with little court argument when CLEAR) that there are FEDERAL standards that rule over state ideas or preferences.

This is especially true (and IMO growing) as our economy is de facto a national economy and we are ONE nation as we face the world - a more and more troubled world.

So I believe our national legislatures have strong prevalent powers if they learn to write clear laws.

As such - I will disagree that States have the say in all of those issues or we might as well become 50 countries .

I find it interesting - that the right wing believes the SECOND amendment - as most recently read to include individuals and not just militias --- stands AS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND NO STATE CAN DO OTHERWISE.

BUT YET ON OTHER ISSUES THE RIGHT ARGUES IT IS A STATE DECISION.

I see nothing but hypocrisy in that - and no over riding "every case included policy or doctrine." Imagine if a new court -- since precedent matters not anymore --- says that the constitution does not give national protection to gun owners or adds to the side that says there are major limits to such right by individual citizens?

Seems when states lean RIGHT -- I read and hear all the arguments "to give it to states (recent VRA). Yet wen states lean left (say 20 of them) it is national if the national law is right. (Again - IMO a war was fought on are we one country for the most part and that was decided -- slavey was abolished).

Maybe our problem is F and F and all that surround, are not either R or D (although it baffles me that a court that favors corporations and local control keeps us hostage to a FEDERAL situation)
