Mark Hurlbert Is Against State's Rights

The 10th amendment to the federal constitution means: powers not specifically assigned to the federal government are reserved to the states and the people.  Some call this "State's rights", though states don't really have rights - they have privileges.

Rights come from God to each person individually.  The people allow the states to govern and the people and the states allow the federal government to have a limited role in governance (war, treaties, currency).

District Attorney Mark Hurlbert thinks the federal government is the authority.  In reality, Mark Hurlbert's understanding is upside updown:
Is this a business the citizens want to encourage when it is still a violation of federal law?
Socialism fails (East Germany, Soviet Union, Vietnam, North Korea, ...).  Just like the big-government liberals who believe in the all-encompassing power of government, Mark Hurlbert is a big-government apologist.
