I must say I'm a little surprised you would make such a sweeping (and demonstrably untrue) statement. This has to be a federal decision, somehow, for the exact reasons you give.
(Edit) OK, that's too slim to be fair.
It has to be a federal legislative compromise, arrived at only after we can find some way to tone down the rhetoric and re-introduce the 60% of the voters who really don't live and die by this issue to the concept that they need to participate in order to give rationality and a mandate to whatever compromise can be made. I anticipate/desire a legislative structure much like RvW.
(And, NM, it was PBS Nighttime News.)
