Yeah, because government has such an excellent track record of reshaping mankind into a better way to live.

The federal government (i.e. the federal courts) have been the instrument of choice for reshaping the nation, against its will, into into a worse way to live. At the very least, we need to prevent them from doing that in the future. When Podunk, Kansas decides that they don't want nude dancing in their town, what right does the federal judiciary have to impose it upon them? When the State of Texas has a law on the books outlawing sodomy, what right does the Supreme Court have to come along and tell them it's suddenly unconstitutional?

As for the case in question--it is very obvious that it falls under the commerce clause and is, thus, a Federal issue. Internet issues cross state boundaries by their very nature.
