This is a federal power grab. We should be pushing for the rights of states to decide this for themselves, per amendment 10.

It's not a federal power grab; an amendment is an explicit part of the Constitution that allows for changes on major issues. It isn't strictly a federal thing, because a large portion of the state legislatures have to approve an amendment, that's why there have been so few.
