I worry more about the political signal that saying we can't let this be a State's Rights issue because we can't trust the States to make the right decision sends.

People tend to crow the most about states' rights when it involves an issue they support.

But when it's something they are against - marijuana, assisted suicide, gay marriage, etc - they become the Fed Govt's biggest cheerleaders.

If it needs to be under federal authority then we need to get an amendment. If they think we can abuse the Commerce Clause without unintended consequences they're pissing into the wind.
