I express my puzzlement, because I would love the parent to come back and explain. I would bet that the principle the parent embraces is not "states have a right to exercise autonomy" but rather "states have a right to exercise autonomy on those things I agree with". You know, like when people advocate for states' rights, except when a state decides to do something like narrow the right to handguns, or environmental regulations, or something like that. I thought that we agreed as a country that things guaranteed in the Constitution applied regardless of what state.
