Any conservative agreement with him on this is purely superficial. Yes, the States should be able to legalize it if they want, but not because Congress gave them permission. It is and always has been their decision to make.

The authority Congress claims over the issue was never granted to them by the States, and by any reasonable, honest attempt at interpreting the original intent of the Commerce Clause, that decision is still theirs to make.
