I’m safely assuming you two have no problem with murder being OK federally?
Abortion and queer marrriages go far beyond the local and state level of critical importance. Our nation’s future depend on how we answer this - from a FEDGOV level.
But I guess you “brainwashed (im)moral purists will never understand that”.
It already is - the only federal murder statutes have a specifically federal element such as a federal LEO as victim, a crossing of state lines, etc. As a general rule, the police power has always been at the state level.
You’re getting absurd now.
Kidnapping was made a federal crime due to the Lindberg baby’s kidnap/murder, so that the better equipped FBI could handle investigations.
FWIW, I had and have no problem with the Defense of Marriage Act, and I think omitting God from the argument is a huge and stupid mistake.
