My bet is that they will get sued in FEDERAL COURT and that the FEDERAL COURT will side with the FEDS!
Who’d a thunk?
I would imagine that you are probably correct.
In which case, the proper response from South Carolina, in my opinion, would be open and unapologetic defiance of the Feds...
At the same time, CO is set to legalize marijuana on Jan 1st in clear violation of federal law. The Feds also allow states and cities to create sanctuaries for illegal aliens without going after them. As long as Congress and the electorate allow selective enforcement of the law by the Executive Branch, we will remain a banana republic.
South Carolinians will promptly tell the Feds “you made this law, you enforce it!
I'd like to see an argument made that the law is unimplementable and unenforcable as demonstrated by all the unconstitutional waivers and changes that Obama has personally made without authority.
I'd like to see them argue that no such law can be found to be constitutional because its very nature of poor construction creates a constitutional crisis every time the President makes law on his own in an attempt to fix this law.
The Supreme Court should strike it down simply because it is no law at all.

My bet as well. Letting the fed courts adjudicate a dispute between a state and another branch of the fed gov is like holding a championship fight between Ali and Frazier, and letting Ali’s manager referee the fight. Hardly impartial.
