But unfortunately, due to those "political realities" I always hear about, such a solution will be immediately framed as "states rights" and therefore racist. Any mention of a crack in Lincoln's Perfect Union and you'll be labeled a bircher and accused of being the harbinger for Jim Crow 2.0. Race based fear.
