The democrats say the states have a right to defy the federal government when it comes to NOT enforcing immigration laws they don't like.
Does this mean the more conservative states have a right to defy the federal government in regards to enforcing laws they don't like? 'Legalized' abortion on demand or same-sex marriage, for example. How about gun control laws?
Is there any federal law that states MUST enforce even if they don't like it?
Can cities and states pass sanctuary one man, one woman marriage laws? Sanctuary pro-life laws? Sanctuary gun rights laws? Sanctuary free religion laws? Sanctuary don't have to bake the homosexual cake law, etc.
This could be a good thing. Especially when the states believe the federal government has overstepped its constitutional bounds or limits and or infringed on states or individual rights.
You are right, that is very sad but true.

How would you prefer the owner of the website to re-title his vanity?
I would like the Federal Government to have ONLY THOSE POWERS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED in the Constitution.
I would like the Federal government AND States to be FORBIDDEN from exercising powers that are specifically forbidden.
I would also like to see any lawmaker or judge who ignores the Constitution in their legislation or rulings to be tarred and feathered for each instance.
Tax laws.
A strange parallel to the time when the Democrats did not like the slavery laws and started a bloody Civil war.
