I’m pointing out states can’t prevent federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. States can choose not to criminalize or prosecute anything they wish. This has no effect on federal law, or the ability of federal law to be enforced by federal law enforcement.
No they are not.. state national guards are regulated by each state and independent of the federal government. Its called once again sovereign states.
Look at it this way, if the United states was nuked , a little state like Minnesota can call on its national gaurd to launch fighter planes and bombers and attack Russia.
While subordinate to the US military, and only on their orders. A state can not unilaterally attack a sovereign nation without a federal declaration of war, or order from the US military.
Yes it could under a governor's orders. Heck the governor of Nebraska could unleash his nuclear missiles at Russia under attack
No it can’t. the governor doesn’t have any nuclear missiles. The US military does. All of which are regulated by the NRC, which is a federal agency. Just put down the shovel already. You can’t dig any deeper.
The nuclear missiles are in fly over states and under governors control, the 80% are on subs under the president control
The governor's have the codes to launch a counter attack if the president gets killed by a nuke, every one knows this , civics 101
All nuclear warheads and nuclear material are under federal control. All of it. No state has the ability or authority to launch a single nuclear missile.
Link? Ya think if Washington was nuked governor's wouldn't have the ability to launch a counter attack? Preposterous.
https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/IF10521.pdf The president has sole authority. No state governor can launch a missile, or attack another nation. They do not have access to the missile launch codes. Jesus Christ please stop already.
So the 11th air force in Alaska cant bomb Russia if the president is nuked? https://www.pacom.mil/Media/News/Ne...honored-during-alaska-native-naming-ceremony/
So ya think states would just take a crap in there pants if Washington D.C. was nuked? No they would fight like hell. They would use every nuke missiles and every nukes ar there disposal
Tom Leher wrote a song about nuclear proliferation back in the '60's the last line of which was "We'll try to remain serene and calm when Alabama gets the bomb." but listen to the whole thing.
I frankly think it was a good idea. But, I note, that after the war, none of the new European states adopted it. Even if DeGaulle did create a Senate in France, it has not the same powers as does the American variety. What is always key in any democracy is that the popular-vote determines fairly and honestly any electoral outcome. Which, as I never tire saying, the US has failed to do because it has allowed unacceptable voting-practices of elections for both the Executive and Legislative branches. (Aside from many PotUSes in history that once elected) have tried to pack the Supreme Court.) Such manipulations are all very, very sad for the Greatest Nation on Earth. Besides, it is the type of people who run for office that matter as much as how the country is configured in terms of governance. And Donald Dork is showing the world how bad an American Democracy can get. First, he is illegitimately elected by the EC, and then he demonstrates how fully incompetent he can be as a PotUS. (Mr. Twitter has the communication skills of a 5th-grader.) But what scares most is that half the nation overlook his misguided and overtly self-serving penchants. They think this ignominious fool is "Just Great!" Such naiveness does not bode well for the nation ... Je ne t'amuse plus? Merde! Quel dommage! Au revoir, Madame ...
Yes I did. I linked the process and quoted it. I even highlighted the relevant part. You have never once voted for a president. You voted for a member of the electoral college. I know, you'll deny it. But your feels do not change facts. And here is the kicker: as long as butt hurt Democrats continue to act like you do by denying reality, even the tangerine tyrant will be able to take advantage of you. As for me? I don't have a don't have a dog in this fight. I understand that no matter what party wins, we all lose.
