> Leveling the playing field, as you say, would be a significant infringement of state rights.
States don’t have rights, like any other level of government they jave powers granted by the people.
Further, when it comes to acts affecting interstate commerce, the federal government has been granted preemptive powers, since the adoption of the Constitution, for the exact purpose of levelling the playing field. So even if one makes the terminological error of referring to states powers reserved against the federal government as “rights”, this very much would not violate those “rights”.
