No, that’s precisely what I was saying. States (as opposed to local government) were held to hold the power. So they can impose mandates or block mandates from lower governments (or arguably federal mandates if they intrude on state power). It wasn’t a human rights challenge - it was a states right challenge. In Canada, of course, such powers are differently allocated.
