States Rights Quotes

Therefore, states are equal in natural rights Picture Quote #1

What began as a bitter dispute over Union and States’ Rights, ended as a struggle over the meaning of freedom in America. At Gettysburg in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said perhaps more than he knew. The war was about a new birth of freedom Picture Quote #1

Among the features peculiar to the political system of the United States, is the perfect equality of rights which it secures to every religious sect Picture Quote #1

The strategic partnership between the European Union and the United States is rooted in our shared values of freedom, human rights, democracy and a belief in the market economy Picture Quote #1

The rights of some must not be enjoyed by denying the rights of others. Neither can we permit states’ rights at the expense of human rights Picture Quote #1

Abortion is a states’ rights issue. Education is a states’ right issue. Medicinal marijuana is a states’ rights issue. Gay marraige is a states’ rights issue. Assisted suicide- like Terri Schiavo- is a states’ rights issue. Come to think of it, almost every issue is a states’ rights issue. Let’s get the federal government out of our lives Picture Quote #1

Today neither of our two parties maintains a meaningful commitment to the principle of States’ Rights. The 10th Amendment is not a ‘general assumption’ but a rule of law. States rights mean that states have a right to act or not to act, as they see fit, in areas reserved to them Picture Quote #1

There is no issue of States’ rights or National rights. There is only the struggle for human rights Picture Quote #1

I do believe states’ rights was a sound doctrine that got hijacked by some unsavory customers for a while - like, 150 years or so. I’m professionally obliged to believe that knowledge is better than ignorance, but some kinds of forgetting are OK with me Picture Quote #1

Byrd, the former Klu [sic] Klux Klan Kleagle, is taking a stand over states’ rights, or his rights over State, or some such. Whatever the reason, the sight of an old Klansman blocking a little colored girl from Birmingham from getting into her office contributed to the general retro vibe that hangs around the Democratic Party these days Picture Quote #1

For states’ rights advocates, the Constitution is like a contract that is openly violated by one party with impunity. On paper, the states remain sovereign powers, while in reality the federal government appears able to dictate everything from the ingredients of school lunches to speed limits. Congress now routinely collects taxes in order to return the money to the states with conditions on their conforming to federal demands Picture Quote #1

The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadows of states rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights Picture Quote #1

Apple is to the United States government what Clarence Thomas was to the civil rights coalition. How dare you get this big sidestepping us Picture Quote #1

If a radical devolution of powers was possible, it would have been done before. The assumption of states’ rights is gone. There’s no support for it in the Supreme Court and there’s no support for it in public opinion Picture Quote #1

The government of the United States is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes Picture Quote #1

And it’s absolutely hypocritical for the political party that talks about states rights, to suddenly ignore states rights, that say that the federal government or federalism has no business in this kind of business Picture Quote #1
