>> That was superseded by the Constitution. Seems a government where the states have primacy doesn't work. So it shouldn't be an issue.

While the Civil War was basically over a states' rights, the issue of the division of power between the states and federal government has been around forever. It was a key issue before the Constitutional Convention and was debated extensively there, long before anyone was thinking about slavery or blacks vs. whites.

And that is the reason it is utterly absurd to suggest that it is some kind of "dog whistle."

This is typical liberal idiocy, which comes very naturally to you and Chris.
