I'm utterly confused.

Since when does the federal legislative branch have the right to:

a) break the Constitution wrt to state's rights and intervene in an internal state matter with a federal court;

b) override a state judicial branch single-handedly, before a federal court review, and use executive powers of law enforcement to have their way;

Did I miss a few new Amendments that give Congress total authority?

What, you didn't notice that the House Dems were split down the middle on the vote?

This was, for everything I can see, a bipartisan power grab of epic proportions.

Ugh, no, I didn't. I've been trying to avoid it, honestly, because I deeply fear for the legitimacy of our government and legal system already without seeking out anything else to incense me. While I cringe at the notion of being willfully ignorant, my outrage meter has been pretty much maxed out for the last few months and I don't want to risk going postal.
