Because unlike democratically decided federal laws, state laws are unilaterally enacted by unelected dictators?



I mean, their core argument is what you said, but the reverse. It is, of course, bullshit.

And, of course, the rights that they always take issue with are when the federal government is permissive with them. Apparently, in some strange backwards logic, the federal government granting you a right is tyrrany, but the state taking it away from you is not.


States have proven considerably easier to gerrymander, so, yes by degrees.
