Yeah...but the fact that there is a power struggle between state and federal government is a big deal. That rarely happens. And in the past few centuries, the federal government has taken nearly all power from the states. Once this shit gets started, its not gonna stop. The people will fight to preserve it. This seems like something the state government can actually win.
Who knows...maybe with some patience, our government will take its cock from its ass and abolish all pointless laws.
