States now are the check on presidential overreach

Only Democrats are arrogant enough to think state laws can supercede federal laws

Arrogance makes a Democrat
 
This is where the breakdown occurs in my mind.
United states was never meant to be one big , fat , small handed pig
headed country.
We are states.
This is the genius of our document.
No one presides or runs our country,
because no one has needed to.
Since 1750's or so.
really 300 years. This is where our best design became Americans' stillwater runs deep.
We are separate states United for a common propose to support and run the country and its absolute Zero about a state not liking the president and breaking laws over it
 
‘Thank goodness for state governments. One of the most underappreciated stories in 2025 was the role states played in checking federal overreach. As the Trump administration barreled through norms, rules and laws, state officials — sometimes from both parties — supplied the friction to slow the administration’s power grab.

Trump swept into power with Republican control over both chambers of Congress, but he avoided working with Congress as much as possible. He spent the first year of his second term pushing the bounds of executive power. As his Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told a Vanity Fair journalist: Trump “operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.”

Congress may have rolled over, but at the state level, things played out pretty much the way America’s founders intended. As James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 45: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.”

Madison and his fellow visionaries settled upon a system that enshrined in the U.S. Constitution the legal authority for states to protect the freedoms of their residents and uphold the rule of law when the federal government abused its power.


Democratic states supplied the friction to slow the Trump regime’s power grab; Republican opposition was rare.

Indeed, it was red states that rolled over along with a feckless Republican Congress.

And again, the hypocrisy of Republicans was on full display, supposed advocates of states’ rights, Republicans who did nothing to oppose a Republican president’s attack on the states, Republicans who cheered Trump’s attacks on Democratic states.
