You are looking for the Tenth Amendment which provides that the federales have only those powers SPECIFICALLY enumerated in the Constitution as powers of the central government and that all else are reserved to the states and the people respectively.
This is a trial court decision. Indiana will appeal to the Seventh Circuit where this decision will be reversed. The major danger would be if one of Sandra Day O'Kennedy or the conservative four on SCOTUS were to die or resign and Comrade O got to appoint an additional constitutional illiterate to SCOTUS making a five-member majority against the constitution. This is the danger when the justices and judges are not legal scholars but knee-jerk political hacks.

Thank you. I will write my Congressman about the illegal Federal takeover of State’s rights.
