And Congress represents the people, Federal laws are supreme, and states can not nullify Federal statutes.
Thats settled and accepted law, having nothing to do with liberals or communists.
You have no idea what you're talking about. If federal laws were "supreme" then Sheriff Richard Mack could not have defeated portions of the Brady Bill and the Clinton Administration.
Federal law is only "supreme" on the 18 enumerated powers the federal government is authorized to have power on. Period.
those portions were deemed unconstitutional - and were thus void.
that had nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with state law trumping federal (it doesn't, ever), which is the question at hand here.
Except when it decriminalizes marijuana?
all the states can do is change the state law. federal law still applies. how federal law enforcement chooses to implement that law is another thing entirely.
Way to dodge that like a politician. We know exactly how the federal government has "chosen" to implement their law against narcotics. And they just got overridden by a couple of states....
A state law designed to ‘nullify’ a Federal statute indeed conflicts with that Federal statute. A state may not pass laws authorizing its residents to ignore or violate Federal laws.
you're absolutely right. just like outlawing abortions and having racially segregated schools co-opting state officials to enforce a federal background check was not constitutional.You have no idea what you're talking about.

And why were they deemed "unconstitutional"?!? Because the federal government did not have that power/authority over the states....
God almighty, do you even hear yourself?!?!?
that's great. back here in reality if there's a question about the constitutionality of a law the courts decide it, and until they say otherwise the law is presumed constitutional. and once again for everybody out there federal law trumps state law. every. fucking. time.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Educate yourself.
seriously, are you having a laugh? did you not go to high school? never watched the news?
this is really middle school stuff.

buy one of those. any of them (well, maybe not the honda civic repair guide) and put a little knowledge in your brain.

They hav no Constitutional authority to overrule federal law

j...you are seriously misled. I'll give you a quick question. Interstate highway speed limit is 75. How fast can you drive on a country road?
The federal government allows for interstate transportation of trees. Michigan bans the import of Ash trees. Is it constitutional or legal?
Federal government doles out welfare monies. Can a person not qualify in one state, but meet standards for another?
It goes on and on.

again, you're an idiot. i can't stress that enough.
if colorado says they don't have any laws against smoking marijuana, that's great. nobody in colorado will be charged with any state crimes for firing up a joint.
that doesn't change what the federal law is though.
but then this wyoming law isn't exactly analogous to that since it would make enforcement of a *theoretical* federal law illegal. do you see how that's different?

is a county road an interstate?
the state of michigan has a compelling state interest in the banning of ash trees - protecting their own against the emerald ash borer - and thus the law is allowed (or rather if this law existed that might be the case. as it is it looks like there is a federal quarantine on ash trees coming out of some parts of michigan because of the emerald ash borer)
and while the federal government does provide monies for things like snap benefits the distribution and qualifications for those monies are left up to the states within the guidelines of the federal law.

And I can't stress enough that you have no fucking clue how your own government works.
And to answer your question - no, I don't see any difference. In both cases, the states are exercising their authority over the federal government.
Even when I post indisputable evidence (such as I did above), all your hyper-ignorant ass can do is nonsensically claim "that's great... here in the real world" since you can't dispute the facts. Apparently you can't read and you definitely reject reality and the U.S. Constitution for your own distorted ideology.

Its simple. The federal govenment is limited to enumerated powers (within which they are supreme). ALL other powers are specifically given to individuals and states. The individual retains almost exclusive rights in all cases, unless it enfringes upon another person.
I gave you examples that disproved your assertions. You lose. We are called united states for a reason.
[again, all i can tell you is how things actually work. you can post whatever you want, but the way it works is constitutional federal law trumps state law every time, and if there is ever a question about the constitutionality of a federal law it is decided in federal court.
that's it. that's the way it works. nothing you say changes that, no opinions from anyone, anywhere - not even from the founders themselves changes that.
federal law trumps state law. every time.
the difference between those states that have medical and other allowed marijuana laws on the books and the potential gun conflict in wyoming is simple - if the federal government prosecutes someone in colorado for pot possession that's fine, but there won't be in state charges.
on the other hand the wyoming law would charge the federal official enforcing the federal law with a crime. that is a very large, very relevant difference and i know you see it too.
