Oh, lighten up, man. We won! The court has been avoiding this for decades, and they finally decided for liberty and against government.
I think part of what you're objecting to is the wording, and yet that 'negative' wording is evident in Constitutional Amendments as well.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
