States can tell any Federal Judge to get lost. Your ruling has no force of law in this state. The Governor just says I work for the people of MO and they have spoken. We in MO do not work for a political hack on the federal bench. What are the feds to do? Send in the military that has been reduced to pre WWII levels? Send the BATFE where the Sheriff doesn’t authorize them to enter his county or enforce any law without his specific approval. Come on man....we (Read: People of the states) have got to just tell the feds to get screwed.
And then the bullying begins with the threat of cutting off ALL fed money going to MO. And here I thought there was this big drive to stop all the bullying and now see that the biggest bully of all is the fed gov. (Like I didn’t already know that.) :>}
That has already been tried, and it failed. In Galena, Illinois, the home of Ulysses S. Grant, it is called "The War of Rebellion." That was also about states' rights.
