If a state decides to not accept federal money the federal government will still claim that the state must obey all federal rules. There is no legitimate basis for this, but the federal government is drunk on power.

If a state decides to not accept federal money the federal government will still claim that the state must obey all federal rules. There is no legitimate basis for this, but the federal government is drunk on power.

It depends on the rule and its underlying law.

But even granting your point, it is SO much easier for the central government to not send the money than it is to send in enforcement. Think of the BLM actions a few years ago out west. The feds eventually backed down. If you are hooked on money, the dealer is your Master.
