I don’t think that’s an unreasoned answer, but I believe that issues have advanced to the point that you have to address them federally, even if it is to demand an end to current practice. Then go back to the state level on many issues.
Possibly; though I do hate pushing things into the federal arena when it is properly handled at the State level.
(I think that THAT is what has contributed to the idea of the federal government being superior to the States [in all things].)
