So, you're for the Federal government having absolute power over the states. That is exactly what was argued in the federalist papers before the constitution was adopted. The people who actually wrote the constitution felt that it would limit the Federal government to its enumerated powers, and the states were to be soverign on all other matters.
Damn no wonder this country is going to h-ll in a handbasket!

I support a consistent application of state's rights. The powers of federal government are limited to what is granted in the Constitution. It's the selective approval of nonConstitutional federal law I see as hipocritical out of these people.
