Obviously not the best idea, but the title's a little misleading. Rep. Blackburn's amendment doesn't make such projects illegal, it just takes the power to preempt future state laws that will make them illegal away from the FCC. And to be fair, the US was intended to be federalist - see the 10th amendment to the Constitution.
