Good point.

The problem is that some activist judge would rule such a law unconstitutional, regardless if no basis, before next election. Then low-information welfare recipients who don't have a clued about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers would vote governors and lawmakers who supported such legislation out of office, state sovereignty be damned.
