I agree with you there has been a trend in USA towards more and more consolidation of power into the federal government. Is it something that can be slowed or reversed? I think so. And one needs to support efforts to do so. This is where I don't understand your claim that "McConnell wants to ban abortion everywhere". He may want that but that is the exact opposite of what he has done. One can say justices he helped appoint returned the decision about abortion from a federal court to state legislatures. This is a reduction of federal power and a reinvigoration of state power. The decision about abortion is now in the hands of voters in each of 50 states, and interestingly is less likely to be an extreme solution of either "no abortion or abortion everywhere until or even at birth". If McConnell judges had just decided to find some principle that abortion could not occur in all states, that would be consistent with your claim. That is not what they decided.
