        This isn’t even a state’s rights issue. Executive orders are just memos for the federal executive branch, not laws or decrees or anything that has any weight beyond ‘this is how we will enforce the laws already passed’.

        The states should just say ‘that isn’t how executive orders work’ instead of pretending that there is some federal vs state issue.

          States don’t need to say anything. The executive order is weightless. State law trumps executive orders automatically. The states will just go on with life, their laws are still laws.

            They should absolutely speak up and say that the order means nothing to the states. Silence is consent when the news is acting like it means something.

      Not even remotely within the prevue of an EO. Its a show so that he can rail against those states insolence.
