I hadn't thought of this before, but your comment reminds me that so-called "states rights" have been scapegoated since the Civil War, in spades during the drive to end segregation, and the Union victory also began the consolidation of centralized federal power, which has only grown stronger over the years, and which generations of bureaucrats have made into a Hobbesean Leviathan.
I think now we're seeing a new secession movement brewing, especially since the federal crimes against citizens in the name of COVID and the exposure of the deep State/corporate media cabal by the Trump presidency.
The Civil War wasn't the end for freedom in America, but it was an end. It has been death of freedom by 1000 cuts -- an almost uniform plunge into the abyss of tyranny since the infancy of the Republic. Freedom is measured in the blood of Tyrants and of Patriots. The enemies of freedom aren't overseas but right here.
constitution hasnt mattered since the civil war occupation and a bunch of amendments were passed under an occupation regime
It was nice of Razorfist to bring up old Honest Abe. It seems like he's got a rant on him percolating too.

The suspension of habeus corpus is in the constitution, if that’s what you’re talking about.
