Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote

states' rights to opress people was the full thought

States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
