President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that blocks states from enforcing their own regulations around artificial intelligence and instead aims to create a “single national framework” for AI.
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.
If I was governor I’d do it anyway. EOs are not decrees
Just scream “states rights” and ignore the fed. Works for fascism.

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