It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”

Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

The Existentialist Republic

There are many worthwhile messages in this article about how Democratic States are preparing.

One interesting one is this:
In Printz v. United States (1997), Justice Scalia wrote that the federal government “cannot require states and localities to carry out its immigration policy.”

The anti-commandeering doctrine, reinforced in Murphy v. NCAA (2018), means states can’t be forced to implement federal (ICE) programs.

Fascinating developments in the resistance against Trump's policies. From the article:

'The state Attorney General of Washington State is now seeking an injunction against Adams County Sheriff for cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, arguing he’s violating state law.

The sheriff faces a choice: follow federal directives or state law. Increasingly, state officials are choosing their states.'
