States have constitutions that tell them what they can and can't do. But 
there's no way to argue with what "could" happen.

My mother watches a Weather Channel show called "It could happen tomorrow" 
or something like that. She lives in absolute fear of tornadoes, despite the 
fact that a tornado in these parts is rarer than hen's teeth, and she 
watches this show to whip up that fear. She's going to fall down her 
basement steps and kill herself, fleeing some imaginary tornado. Irrational 
fear.

There are enough bad things happening already that we need to pay attention 
to without thinking up new ones that haven't happened yet.
