re: Given that federal law trumps state law, and that by your admission this isn't a constitutional issue, I see nothing wrong with what Congress did. How about if they did it in reverse, would you see a problem with that?

Al, It is a STATE LAW ISSUE. Congress has made it a federal issue with this cockamamie law it passed in the middle of the night. I suspect the constitutionality of IT will be challenged very quickly. Given that federal law trumps state law, and that by your admission this isn't a constitutional issue, I see nothing wrong with what Congress did. It violates the Constitution. It is illegal and if necessary, the cockroach delay law can be thrown out on that basis. ted
