If a new Federal law has been put on the books that grants an new "right", I don't and shouldn't have to move to a different state to enjoy that right. This time its gay marriage, but what happens in the scenario I presented? States should be allowed to refuse a new "right" established by federal law? In fact, not even a state- one lady, who happens to be in control of issuing licenses to an entire county. How would that work if the person in control of each county decided to do whatever they wanted?
Because it goes both ways. If the feds say you can no longer say whatever you want, or carry a gun (almost happened), or have privacy (happened), there is nowhere you can go to escape. Also it's not a right anyway ( http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-50234-...pid1104021 ), it's an imposition on others (like welfare).
Sure, if every county did whatever they wanted, that might cause some problems (or not, assuming they have recall elections etc), but you can escape all of them with your feet. However if the president or the 9 lawyers did whatever they wanted (which they do), what you going to do?
