This issue is not discussed in any way shape or form in the constitution, and should thus be left to the states.

Well okey dokie. If you say so (I mean your statement - this issue is not discussed in any way shape or form in the constitution). I suspect, however, it is not quite so simple as that.

And you would be correct, insofar that the Court has spent the last 50 years reading into the constitution things that aren't there. So yes, this probably clashes with a whole bunch of invented constitutional provisons - just not with any of the provisions the exist in the actual written constitution.

It's very simple. Any power not granted to Congress specifically by the federal constitution is within the states exclusive jurisdiction. You may not like this on a case by case basis, but it's not any of your business if you don't live in that state. If you do, then you're subject to the other citizens therein.

I think you need to remember that the Founders, when they wrote the constitution, were 'way more conservative than you are, and the people were much close to the God's principles than they are today.
