The right wing has traditionally argued in favor of small government, less regulations, and of course federalism which is the concept that the federal government has limited powers and that most powers belong to the states. Isn't that what the Tenth Amendment says?
But the right wing reveals themselves for hypocrites when they support a federal government law which forces private organizations to behave in what the right wing would consider a proper manner. In this case, the law is the Solomon Amendment which requires colleges to allow military recruiters on campus or lose federal funding. Is micro-managing private colleges the proper role for the federal government? What does the right wing think that the federal government shouldn't be allowed to micro-manage?
See for example this post at Michelle Malkin's right wing blog.
