Forgive me on this one, I just got that vibe he was attacking all states rights advocates who are conservatives are only supportive of the 10th amendment for discriminatory reasons. Furthermore, I've seen CONSTANT bashing from the left mob that state's rights are inherently racist so my bad in conflating this mob mentality with the post LonghornFan posted below:
I, for one, am a big proponent of State's Rights. I'm also a fan of smaller government. Some of the issues raised in the OP's excerpt seem to be a struggle between city ordinances infringing on basic property rights of businesses. For example, in Austin, trying to enforce paid sick leave for small businesses. This undermines property rights and I believe section 19 if the Texas Constitution
So if a city ordinance undermines property rights, i think the state has a constitutional right to override such ordinances. The question is does this apply to the below?
I'd say so.
