You don't get to vote on rights is exactly the point. The South would not have voted to integrate. The assholes like Governor Faubus in Arkansas (they are a rare breed in that state) cried state's rights when the SCOTUS ruled that 'separate but equal' was a bullshit policy, half of which wasn't being practiced. So he exercised his state's rights by pulling the state militia to keep the 9 students out of Central High in Little Rock and incited riots and blamed them on the blacks in the state. But then Ike bitchslapped him with the 101st. My favorite example of exercising executive power.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
