I'd like to argue on SEC's behalf. SEC is consistent in her 10th Amendment Jurisprudence. For example, she thinks the Hyde Amendment should be repealed. Likewise, she thinks restricting state laws that might, for example, require that a place that bakes cakes for weddings not discriminate against some of its customers, or limit the sale of sex toys or prophylactics, or criminalize specific forms of sex, or sex with classes of persons, should be respected. She applies the state's rights logic evenly and consistently.
