| Should a state be able to ignore any federal law that it wants to? Posted by Decatur And arrest anyone who tries to enforce that/those federal law(s)?  on 1/31 at 3:01 pmShould a state be able to ignore ALL federal laws if it wants to? If so, how would you envision the future of the United States in light of this? Reply • Back to Top |

| The states should be able to ignore any law that violates civil liberties of the state residents They should only have to abide by laws that protect the liberties of individuals i.e. stuff like gun laws should not have to be followed Reply • Back to Top |
quote: No, that just seemed the most obvious. Reply • Back to Top |
| If it unconstitutionally encroaches on the sovereign authority of the state, or the rights of its citizens, then YES. See nullification theory - supported by such people as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Reply • Back to Top |
| What's the difference between ignoring and not enforcing, I mean hell Obama "prioritized" enforcement of laws, then say we will no longer prosecute certain laws, why can't states do the same? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: They can and do. If you only have so much to pay LEO to enforce the laws you are gonna give some laws more attention than others, which happens every where all the time (certain traffic laws, sodomites, etc.). What's the fed gonna do, force them to enforce the law without the funds to pay for enforcement? That question is intended to be rhetorical but I think fedgov might have a different opinion of what the obvious answer is. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Environmental protection could be much more robust if a greater recognition of private property (see: your person) was allowed in litigation. I am a tree hugger but in no way do I find federal mandates or laws concerning the proper use of chemicals or land management to be satisfactory. Reply • Back to Top |

| Mississippi is already trying to ignore federal laws. Is this what inspired this thread? LINK Reply • Back to Top |
| Mississippi, Arizona, Wyoming, even Louisiana is thinking about dipping their toes into the water - Who else am I missing? Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
