not much the states can do realistically. as you yourself said, national sovereignty is provided for in the constitution and not a power of the states.


that is not entirely true as this is what is now being tested in Arizona and I think part of what will happen is a definition of where states can enact local legislation

however, it is the President's responsibility to see that local law does not violate the constitution - or your rights and mine


not so in the least. that responsibility and the power rests solely with the judiciary.


technically yes - I was generalizing to the federal gov't

and the Prez does appoint the supreme ct


not without advise and consent of the senate.
