In 1851 New Hampshire, Ohio, and Massachussets passed Personal Liberty Laws which forbade any in those states from cooperating with the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. The laws provided twice the punishment specified for not cooperating with the Fugitive Slave Act. These laws have been treated historically, as anything but seditious. I would expect California pols to cite these laws in defense of their current policy. Dred Scott rendered these laws moot by denying free man status to any escaped slave. I would expect the Trump DoJ will take this to SCOTUS.

Or something like this, since in this instance it is the Democrat Party abusing the, powers of governments to attack the rights of American citizens. At the time Ike acted, no American was any longer the property of another, and the Bill of Rights was expanded in such a way as to ensure every American's rights.
