What difference does it make to a libertarian if the federal government or the state government deprives him or her of a right?

(99,711 posts)My point was more mundane...If I want to hire an escort, which I don't , what difference does it make if the federal government or the state government says that I can't?
A libertarian would say that's my right...A Tenth Amendment absolutist would say it's up to the state.
