"... we get to make this decision, not Congress."
"The Constitution is far more important"

Well, what is it? Do you make the decision, or is the Constitution far more important?

Because it can't be both.

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution says that you don't get to make the decision.

It can and is both. The Constitution says we get to make the decision. Hence, if we don't get to make the decision, the Constitution is being infringed.

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution says that you don't get to make the decision.

It's true that where the federal government has jurisdiction, it makes the rules, not the states. But the feds don't have jurisdiction here. The Constitution does not give the federal government the power to regulate this.
