Yes and the states don’t have to help enforce federal law. If the federal government is forced to stick to laws that it can naturally enforce due to interstate or international commerce, and laws they will mobilize the national guard for (like desegregation) then we will live in a better world.
- sterlind 5y agoit will be very interesting to see if Missouri's $50,000 fine on officers who continue to enforce Federal laws would stick. the article quotes one of the state reps as saying "this just means we don't have to lift a finger to enforce those laws" - I think this is more akin to chopping lifted fingers off with a meat cleaver. it's enshrining "snitches get stitches." imagine if states pulled this tactic during integration..
