Want to bet? Federal judges have taken over individual states prison systems and dictated the "amenities" that must be provided by the taxpayers. Just recently California released tens of thousands of felons at the behest of federal judges to mitigate "overcrowding". Going back a few years, If you didn't knuckle under and adjust your interstate speed limit to "double nickels" the Feds would withhold your highway aid money. The list of Federal bullying goes on and on. It is also getting progressively worse and I do mean "progressively".

Of course the federal courts can get involved. e.g. if a state made it illegal for a private citizen to own a gun, that would violate the US constitution. And that is the problem here with the lawsuit and why it cannot prevail. What the state did does NOT violate the US Constitution.
