Anything that any state wants to do, that is not in the Constitution (as so decided), and violates it (how would you ever know, in doubtful cases?), must be put before all of the people, and not just the Federal Government (the Constitution a limitation on the Federal government).
Cannot the Supreme Court decide constitutionally doubtful cases? Not under the American Fallacy, where the Constitution itself is a limitation on reserved power of the people. (Think of it rather like Godel's incompleteness theorem, regarding either the Constitution, or Principia Mathematica.)
That, after all, is what the people, and 'reserved to the states or to the people' had meant, to them, at the Philadelphia Convention. Sola scriptura.
A state's people, aren't the people, under the Constitution.
