Just like the 2000 election and state's rights. Did the federal government have the right to interfere with the election process in Florida? The latest being states who voted in term limits, but the federal government said you can't limit the terms of your federal officers chosen by the state, only your local and state officials.

Unfortunately, you seem to want the benefit of the federal largesse without the responsibilities. Federal law can trump local laws when it concerns matters that effect the entire nation. In other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Governor Faubus found that out the hard way in the late '50s. Isn't that right?
