If that was honestly the case, new laws and regulations would never get passed as you fear both sides abusing them to further their own goals. It only furthers the goals of those who believe the government should be destroyed to employ gridlock because over time regulations will be erased with nothing to replace them. For some things I would trust the government over states. If Gay Marriage was left up to the states, there would still be a large amount of states that would gladly ban it. Yet people feared any sort of laws or regulations surrounding gay marriage being passed as a way of the government usurping power.
