If this is true, the conservative position of less Federal involvement should be appeased by this decision. (I know, poor sentence structure!)
Whereas, the reported liberal view of "put the Feds in control of everything" is being undermined by this decision.
If these are the views that conservatives feel about themselves (and about the nature of liberalism), then why aren't the conservatives happy and the liberals upset??

Wrong, if the court believed it was up to the States they would have:
1. Not taken the case
2. Mentioned it in the decision maybe????
This was not a "States rights" case, it was brought to the Supreme court to decide if the actions of the local governments were Constitutional. Those against it said "This action is unconstitutional" Those for it said "Hmm, we don't really care if it is or isn't, we happen to like the policy so we'll OK it". That's the problem.
States rights? Please.
