The point is not so much about why the federal government shouldn't have authority over states, but why states, according to pan, should have authority over smaller communities. Pan specifically said that he accepts the Ohio smoking ban because it was passed by the state. I'm wondering what logic he's using that makes him OK with that but not OK with the federal government superceding the states on issues of discrimination such as gay marriage.

I understand the 10th Amendment, but what is generally being argued for here is a confederacy, which goes well beyond the 10th Amendment. Besides, we tried that once and it was a failure.
