Obviously Republicans are a big group with diverging interests and alignments on certain issues. Both parties have been more than happy to grow the power of the Federal government over the states. That we have a bipartisan consensus of lobbyist-owned politicians in Washington is not even a novel concept. In fact, probably the most aggressive state to take advantage of states rights is California, which implements stringent regulations at the state level that are far in excess of federal regulations on many things. I don't see anyone arguing that California should be prevented from doing that. At any rate, these are 2 Republicans proposing a bill, nobody has any idea yet what kind of support it has in the House or whether it will die on the vine.
