Is a legislative over-ride possible or likely?

What else would one expect when a red state elects a Democrat to statewide office? I guess people really are that dumb...

Thanks to KC, St. Louis, and Columbia, Missouri has been a purple state for many years.
When the rural vote stays home, or gets duped by a Democrat pretending to be conservative, the city vote (including fraud) is enough for the Democrat to win.
There's also the effect of stupid suburbanite independents voting for Obamamugabe to show that they're not racist.

Someone needs to read the 2nd amendment to him Very Slooowly.
Governor, can you say “Shall. Not. Be. Infringed.”?
Try it!
Perhaps a little Kindergarten level 10th amendment instruction would help him.
Maybe a coloring book would help.

I suspect Nixon was right - doesn’t seem like the state would have jurisdiction over federal officials, nor that state law could override federal law. He could have let it ride and spent the money on court cases though, to prove it.

It’s likely that there is a ton of legal precedent to enforce Fed regs over states.

The 2nd Amendment, however, being an amendment alters/constrains the delegated powers of the unamended constitution — even the ability to levy tax and regulate commerce.

Federal law is supreme only in those areas authorized by the Constitution. State law is supreme in everything else. See the 10th Amendment.

He noted that the U.S. Constitution generally gives supremacy to federal laws over conflicting state ones. Illiteracy should be a disqualifier for office.
To: lurk
The problem is that there is nothing in the constitution that allows the feds to enforce them.
Just legal precedence. If we do stupid things, we should continue doing stupid things because there is legal precedence.

It was his administration that illegally turned over the list of Missouri CCW license holders to the feds, then lied about it.

How is not publishing the names of gun owners a violation of free speech? Gun ownership is a right and your choice not to have the information make public is/should also be your right. The public has no need to know that.

When the said federal laws are unconstitutional and thus unlawful the state has every right to protect its citizens.
