The federal government does not have the right nor responsibility to engage in the moral affairs of the citizens of the respective states.

Then why are there murderers in federal prisons?

Do not the states have laws against murder? The federal government doesn’t need those laws. The Constitution is specific. It is a list of powers given to the federal government, not a list of implied rights or protections the federal government should provide except in very specific instances.
