you have a point, but I wonder whether this is a healthy backlash.
Original setup was that states had jurisdiction on most things, and feds insured interoperability via commerce clause. Later, feds abused commerce clause to regulate almost everything, and states lost most of their power – and that is why everyone is obsessed with Presidential elections. a President is supposed to be someone who faithfully executes the laws … Chief Shoter, not a big deal
so, npw, states are finding how to use the legal system to get some of their power back.
