That's one way of seeing it. Another way of seeing it is that is protects States' rights to legislate as they see fit for their population.

By the way, before you go calling the legislation "unconstitutional," you should do your homework, as most legal scholars say that the constitutional question of stripping jurisdiction from the federal courts is an unresolved one.
