      Oh, they’re all about states rights… Unless the state wants safe and legal abortions, legal weed, or physician assisted suicide…

        As a Missourian, it’s funny how quickly a lot of the criticisms against legal weed went away once they realized just how much money (~$1B in a year) it was going to bring in for the state. It’s almost as if a pretty large portion of conservatives don’t actually have strong moral convictions other than making sure their side wins.

      I believe the sentiment is “States’ rights for me, but not for thee.”

      But really when they say “states’ rights” they really mean “we want to hurt women, screw black and brown people, and force religion on the rest,” usually at gun point (the only federal right they recognize) if needed.
