Should states be able to nullify federal law and supreme court decisions?

[Legion Troll]

That slope's been slipped.

What happened the last time the states' rightists thought they could make their states' law take precedence over the national government?

I find states having this type of power could lead to certain portions of our citizenry being discriminated against.

What, for instance, if Texas decided it didn't want to educate women, and 10% of the other states decided the same, should Texas be allowed to discriminate against women along with those other states?

States' rights over Federal law sound like a good thing, till they don't. It is a very slippery slope.

Look at what's happening now with the religious freedom laws and the big businesses that have said they will no longer do business in those states. That's on an issue affecting gays. Leaving aside the fact that no state would pass a law saying women couldn't be educated any state that did would be hit with HUGE economic boycotts.

so you'd be ok with the federal government abolishing all state laws on guns so that they conformed with the US Constitution?

It would appear Legion Fag is having another temper tantrum and is trying to prove a point to the Mods. Maybe he will storm off again. That would make three times I know of.

I can, Counselor, because you are personally known to me, and as I correctly stated, you are a member of the Bar in good standing, which is a matter of public record.

But by all means, let's agree to consider your qualifications as read.

Now, with the understanding that you do not practice Constitutional law as a specialty, please proceed.

Please explain to young Norah how the process works, and why her idea regarding the nullification of judicial rulings runs counter to our system of government.

I beg to differ, but it's OK if you want to deny it.

It looks like Legion Troll had decided to switch gears and start trolling lefties now. He's fighting with GayRod, Zipperhead and Leonpussy
