A State's Right Approach to Federally Imposed Problems

No, I'm not suggesting that state's declare their refusal to follow Federal interpretations of the law.

But, rather, to use the sovereignty of the individual states to begin coordinating regional responses to crises.

Such as this response, from FL, NE, and IA, to the TX border invasion. The thing is, the Federal government cannot stop states from voluntarily cooperating to their mutual benefit. And, since so many of the states' governors are strong executives with conservative leanings, this is an approach that may well tip the scales.

The Federal government can act against ONE state; they can send in the guard to crush dissent.

It's harder to do when multiple states act in their own interests, and refuse to cooperate with the Feds.

It will be even harder when the Feds can no longer call upon the National Guard to crush opposition to Federal-level, unconstitutional, and illegal demands. They made a BIG mistake when they chose to bring in the Guards in January, treat them abominably, and, now, fail to pay the state for the cost of using them as support for the DC police department.

The governors, and the states' citizens, are hopping mad about all of the above.
