States rights have always been about allowing one group of people to have the power to oppress another group within a state and without federal intervention. It’s why Democrats tend to focus on federal policy and Republicans are obsessed with things like states or parental rights.

But the federal government is allowed to say “Alright, this is the baseline for rights. Go from there.”
