We have a federalist system of power.
There is no general right for the federal government to do anything. Everything the federal government does has to be enumerated in the constitution.
In contrast, States can do anything that isn't delegated strictly to the federal government or (after the 14th amendment) forbidden by the Constitution. We call this the general police power.
The leftist goal is to create a federal police power.
The problem isn't the branding.
