Yes, under the US Constitution it is up to the states to pass laws on all those three private interactions, not the Federal government. If you don't like their laws and cant change them (because of the other state voters) then you can MOVE to a better state. Once you hand unlimited power over to the Federal government, as now, they can do ANYTHING they want and your only option is to flee the country.

This is why constitutional arguments against Obama dont get taken seriously, because so many Republicans want to give unlimited power to the Federal government to force things they think are right.

You are yakking on and on about “unlimited” powers. I subscribe to our VERY limited Constitution. That specifically protects certain rights, from state interference or state indifference. They are enumerated quite clearly. Among them is life.

A state CANNOT promote or tolerate wholesale violations of those enumerated rights. Thus, Black Panthers cannot block whitey from voting (unless Holder is AG), just as the KKK cannot block minorities, NO MATTER WHAT the State does or does not do.

A state CAN, however, regulate the hell out of the healthcare industry, can make mooning your neighbor a felony, can require you to be 40 years of age to drive a car, can ban pop tarts, or require every home to keep a years supply of them.
