A couple questions for "State's rights" right wingers

[ck4829]

Where were you all when the Bush Administration was trying to kill Oregon's Death With Dignity Act?

Where were you all when the Republicans proposed a Federal Marriage Amendment?

State's rights, but only when it's right for you, huh?

1. That's about the size of it.

Not to mention the Freepers who were lamenting that the country wasn't taking to the streets to protest Vermont last week.

2. If you remember, Texas was more or less dictating national and foreign policies

when DeLay was shuffling/gerrymandering the number of republican congressional representatives.

3. Where were they when the feds raided medical marijuana stores?

4. Two more

Where was Perry when Bush sent his National Guard to Iraq and Afghanistan?

Where was Perry when Bushco invoked that clause from the 1863 National bank Act.

In 2003, during the height of the predatory lending crisis, the OCC invoked a clause from the 1863 National Bank Act to issue formal opinions preempting all state predatory lending laws, thereby rendering them inoperative. The OCC also promulgated new rules that prevented states from enforcing any of their own consumer protection laws against national banks. The federal government's actions were so egregious and so unprecedented that all 50 state attorneys general, and all 50 state banking superintendents, actively fought the new rules.

But the unanimous opposition of the 50 states did not deter, or even slow, the Bush administration in its goal of protecting the banks. In fact, when my office opened an investigation of possible discrimination in mortgage lending by a number of banks, the OCC filed a federal lawsuit to stop the investigation.

5. Because a right winger is by very nature a hypocrite.

They have no problem feeding at the government trough, but are loathe to contribute to it.

6. How about when Bush's lawyers over rode the Florida election laws

And took their case to the Federal courts? A right wing nut former friend thought I was lying when I told them his candidates lawyers had done that. He didn't believe it until he heard it on Faux Noise.
