What happened to state rights?
I agree. This is a decision that states should be allowed to make. The federal government has no place telling states how they can and cannot run themselves.
But the state has the power to tell a City it cannot run itself?
That depends on the state's constitution. The federal constitution gives the feds limited power and puts all other powers on the state. The state then gets to decide what remaining powers are theirs, and what goes to the local level.

Re: Big government, I'm here to help you.

When one level of government abdicates its responsibility to the People, I am happy that another can step-up and do the right thing.

The US Constitution gives the feds powers over issues related to interstate commerce, a BROAD definition which in today's world would most certainly include the building of data networks, as it does telecommunications and transportation.

I have no problem with this law. My state is run by idiot blowhards.

Besides, in this day and age the idea that any of the states is somehow "independent" of all the others, that they somehow stand alone, is complete baloney.

This is true. Interstate commerce act has been interpreted by the supreme court such that any and all activities fall under it's umbrella. If you eat with a fork in stead of a spork it is regulatable by the fed under interstate commerce because you have affected everyone in a very minute way because you have furthered the cause of spork lovers everywhere.
