Supremacy clause will likely protect them. Even fed lon horiuchi, charged with sniping an innocent woman with a child in her arms, was able to claim supremacy long enough the state case was too stale to win.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Supremacy clause will likely protect them Supremacy just covers removal [1]. The body of law being adjudicated doesn't change. And the President can't pardon state offences. I'm not convinced all these folks will get convicted. But they're almost certainly spending their thirties in court.

- whatever1 2y agoBut this guy was getting orders from the State. Who the f is Elon?
- ty6853 2y agoA federal employee under USDS
- dylan604 2y agoI think we might be confusing "state" here. "this guy" as you say was an FBI agent, a federal not state agent. Elon is gaining access to federal data, not state data. Maybe I'm confused, but why do we think Elon is committing offenses that a state could charge so that a pardon from Trump would not be possible?
