Might be fun and illuminating here to move more into the 20th century to topics like child labor,
which was also a big "states rights" issue at one time--states rightsers, of course, being the ones
who wanted to keep children working in mines.
Discussion could then "update" to current struggles to eliminate human trafficking.
Probably everyone here will defend states' rights on some issue(s).
What's going on, though, when people band together to hammer out doctrine and create
political movements to defend states rights? Theoretically, a "leftist" states' rights movement
should be possible. Do we have one? If not, why not, if we can agree that states rights
are themselves politically "neutral" to anyone but a monarchist or dictator?
