John Cornyn actually said...

"the power of the State to legislate is quite broad under the police powers because of anything having to do with health, safety, and welfare."

"Congress' duty with regard to a law like this does not end when it passes a law."

"the Federal Government cannot because of the doctrine of federalism that we have talked about, the 10th Amendment."

"I think they call that the fallacy of a false dichotomy."
