Since that distinction can’t be agreed upon I’d much rather that the citizens in the state make those decisions. If the states decide to preempt a city ordinance then that is the state’s responsibility. The Federal government stays out of it and the majority makes the decision on what they want in their state. Seems like a good position for Candidate Obama to take.
