A national rule can be targeted for this specific domain and not rob states of their other powers.
- leephillips 4y agoIt would seem to be a tautology that a rule about A will not infringe on state autonomy about B. But what if the state prefers to retain its autonomy about A?
- munk-a 4y agoStates have been forced to surrender quite a few privileges and legal domains - the existence of state autonomy exists, by design, merely in the space not occupied by national policy. I was trying to clarify that I advocated for a specific national law with limited scope to precisely unify national policy on a particularly terrible legal loophole - as in retrospect I thought my comment could be incorrectly read as advocating for abolishing state courts and jurisdiction specific laws in general.
