Rick Perry, States' Rights, and Judicial Activism?

If Rick Perry (and many current Republicans) advocates for states' rights and decries judicial activism, why is he demanding that a federal court invalidate and override a state law that has been in effect for decades (and allowed an African American to carry the former home to the capitol of the Confederacy in 2008 - the first Democrat to carry the state since 1964)?
