"impermissibly intrude into the national government's exclusive authority over foreign affairs." Sorry Richard. To a certain extent, I agree with the Feds on this one. If I'm a corporation and the National govt agrees that I can trade with Burma, yet the state in which my factories or operations exist, prevents me from trading with Burma, then my constitutional rights have been unfairly infringed upon. Those corporations have an "1800's style" right to carry on free trade as prescribed by national trade policies under law. Massachusetts has NO RIGHT to controvene US law, or conduct its own foreign policy. That is a FEDERAL responsibility. For each state to claim that they can separately determine which nations their local corporations can and cannot trade with, or the conditions under which they are able to trade, would create 50 separate trade policies in this nation. Hell... if they feel so strongly about Burma, then they should get Kennedy to get off his FAT @SS and do something about it in Congress. Regards, Ron
