Oh I see you have fallen into the trap of thinking that its it unconstitutional to pass laws against abhorrent behavior.
You're right - I actually read that troublesome 10th Amendment.

You must have missed the troublesome word "states" when you read the 10th amendment.

And you must have missed that the 14th Amendment binds the states to the same restrictions as the federal government.

There's no Constitutional authority for a nanny state, whether that nanny state is being advocated by libs or "conservatives."
