Three years in DC, happily voted for Obama. Follow your inner realist/pragmatist/Obama and pass the bill. ...

I agree, but I think he meant "right to regulate."...

I'm simply saying the previous version of the amendment (as I understand) would reserve that right for Congress, just as a city can't do certain things a state can, and a state can't do certain things...
