You have to understand that "states rights vs federal jurisdiction" is mostly a useful excuse to try to sell constituents on policy that might be unpopular/harmful to them or to try to sell judges that something might be legal (or not).
It's simply not a legitimate concern to most politicians. Look into the voting records of these flip-floppers. I'm sure you'll find that they more often than not side with lobbyists rather than the will of their electorate.

Politicians lying or exaggerating is not surprising, but it's unfortunate that they don't get called on it by the media and/or public more often.
