Can the federal government actually end civil asset forfeiture "nationwide" due to the US Constitution's delegation of power to the states? In fact would this type of reform have to happen at the state level, and basically 50+ times? Unless explicitly stated in the constitution, there will be a cat fight of litigation over federal vs state rights, and the current federal court system is being more and more tilted towards states' rights. I'm wondering if this is some sort posturing by the author.
