The Federal govt has the ability to step in or out if they feel like it. Meaning yes this does change a lot, because it's putting out a warning to states that the practice is not acceptable. As for if it changes anything at the state level, we will have to wait and see what the Federal govt does if states continue to violate people's rights with these seizures.
Vendzilla, just wants to be Mr Doom & Gloom as usual and go boo hoo because it's something someone in Obama's admin did.

no, it does not "depend". preemption is in the constitution and very clear- federal law ALWAYS wins.
enforcement of the law is a different story.
