the message is the same: Keep your federal hands out of our state’s cookie jars – or some such appropriate analogy.

One problem with Dagblog is it's hard to know where satire begins and where it ends. Taking this at face value then, I agree with you. Despite its tawdry past with respect to civil rights, I'm generally a fan of states' rights, for exactly the reasons you specify. To answer your other question, the lines should be drawn pretty much where the Constitution has drawn them, except that the ICC has been roundly abused by lawmakers, IMO. The problem, of course, is that the federal goverment would seem to have a need to protect basic civil rights (preferably without abusing the ICC), but what constitutes "basic civil rights" is open for debate.
