Well done, Ms. Harrop, and thank you for writing this.
"Of course, such states' rights arguments have been used to defend such evils as legalized racial discrimination."
While true, that does not mean it has to be that way. It is a legitimate function of the Federal Government to defend individual rights - easily defined as "my rights end where your nose and property begins." The Federal Government should step in, and should have stepped in, in defense of individual liberty, anytime a state government fails in its perogative to defend the rights of individuals.
