Yes. "State's rights" advocates hate this, unless it pertains to marijuana decriminalization, single-payer healthcare, or anything that isn't absolutely pigheaded. Then they're all about the federal government.
"State's Rights" is a dogwhistle for "racism". Nobody who uses the term truly cares about anything except the "State's right" to enforce lesser status of minorities.
"State's rights" is a dogwhistle term that means "speaker is bigoted fuckwit".
Oh, and look, Jeff there manages it just a few comments later, with "You assume those against gay marriage are automatically hateful or bigoted. They're not."
I mean, hell, he's been all Concern Troll "well if all those dirty homos would just stay in the closet forever and never admint to being gay then progress would happen faster because invisible nonexistent cocksuckers scare me less" before that, but he appears to adhere to the "more words, deeper hole" theory if you just poke him a little.
Yeah, that's his schtick. He's always surprised when people call him racist or corporatist. He's gotten so bad we're wondering if he's actually a long-form troll.
