By that logic if I pushed someone down the stairs who happened to be in a wheelchair, I could be charged with a federal violation of civil rights of the individual as well as attempted murder? Do you really want to go down that path? Can you even imagine how liberals would use that? Heck, it'd be hate crimes trials all around!!

If you do that, you've completely accepted supremacy of the national government over the states, in effect destroying the federalist system established by the Founders. Of course OTOH, it's not as if it wasn't destroyed long ago, so what's it really matter eh?

Not at all, you miss the point. If you were a corrupt judge who ordered a wheelchair bound disabled woman pushed down the stairs, THEN you'd be using the correct analogy, and then YES you'd be engaged in a criminal conspiracy to violate her rights. Try using actual logic instead of red herrings in your arguments, ot's more honest that way.
