Conservatives always want power in the part of government they control. When Dems control the federal government, Rs yell “states’ rights.” Now that the radical right control SCOTUS, the courts are the arbiters of everything.
Exactly right; they've proven again and again that they have no principled notion of what is the best form of government, only "whatever government produces the social and economic outcome that I prefer". They'll burn it all down to kick women, gays, and black and brown people out of public life.
