I said the exact same thing when Obama made that statement. Civil Rights are probably the most important issue in any nation. And those civil rights certainly cannot be regulated by state governments. It's one of the few situations in politics where the "one size fits all" concept of Federal government is not only important, but required for a nation to function.
This bill probably wouldn't even make it to the Supreme Court unless they wanted to write a really scathing memorandum on the subject. It would have an injunction placed on it and then a lower Federal court would shoot it down in about 15 minutes. Still, the mere fact that a man running for President advocates such a measure is more than enough proof that he has no business being the most powerful man in the world.
