The Trump Administration Just Sued IL, Chicago Over State Laws Around Immigration Enforcement
#SupremacyClause
#ICYMI #RonDeSantis ideological ban on #LabGrown #Meat substitutes is unconstitutional violation of #SupremacyClause .
#Florida move to pre-empt #FederalLaw and violate the #CommerceClause by insulating #FloridaAg from out-of-state competition is being challenged by CEO and MD #UmaValeti whose company #UpsideFoods filed a federal #lawsuit in the Northern District of Florida.
“We have granted certiorari & heard argument. We have had ample opportunity to consider the issues. The parties were well represented on both sides, & dozens of amici have weighed in.…The necessary #legal reasoning is straightforward, & the answer to the question presented is…clear: #IdahoLaw prohibits what #FederalLaw requires, so…under the #SupremacyClause, #Idaho's #law is pre-empted.…There is simply no good reason not to resolve this conflict now.”

Schrodinger should have used Republican support of the Supremacy Clause instead of a cat.
Republican traitors unite to defy the Constitution, promote racism, support inhumane practices, corruption...
Gov DeSantis will be deploying a battalion of the FL State Guard to the US-MX border to deal with what he calls a “total disaster.
He said: “The goal is to help TX fortify this border" -1st deployment of the group he reformed recently.
Those comments were echoed by the leader of the Governor’s military unit.

Gov Abbott is defying Pres Biden. He refuses to comply with the SC decision & the Supremacy Clause. Some experts are calling for the president to nationalize the National Guard in Texas.
Greg Abbott’s post today: “The Texas National Guard continues to hold the line in Eagle Pass.
Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden’s absence.”
Texas House passes bill that authorizes officers to arrest migrants, one of strictest immigration proposals in US
https://abcnews.go.com/International/texas-house-considers-bill-authorizes-officers-arrest-migrants/story?id=104857797
...Officers and state agencies would be cleared to transport them to ports of entry to make sure they comply. If migrants refused to comply with an order to return, they could be charged with a second degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison...
@fuzztech Americans threw out an army of foreign despots to gain independence, only to see units of domestic despots grow up to fight Americans' constitutionally enshrined self-determination, human & civil rights?
No way!

@Nonilex Abusers of power & accessories to Conspiracy Against Rights don't get to claim protection against accountability & the laws under the #SupremacyClause.

The #law requires #defendants to establish 3 things to move a case to #FederalCourt: that they were an officer of the US or acting under an officer; that they’re facing #criminal charges “for or relating to any act under color of such office”; &that they have raised or will raise a “colorable federal defense.” #Meadows filed a separate motion in fed court to #dismiss #charges against him under the #Constitution’s #SupremacyClause, but this will be heard only if his arguments for #removal prevail
Separately, #FaniWillis also attacks Meadows’ claims that because he was doing the President’s bidding he should have immunity from #FultonCounty prosecution. #Meadows tries to rely on the #SupremacyClause, the provision of the U.S. Constitution that says federal law takes precedence over state law. Meadows claims that Trump was somehow enforcing U.S. election law, a federal responsibility that cannot be the subject of a state criminal prosecution. 5/ #LawFedi
#Meadows… asked the judge to force the halt pending a separate request… to remove his case to #FederalCourt. (He) …argued that (his)… acts… were protected by his status… as a federal ofcl (#SupremacyClause), & that that protection should also protect him from #arrest while the case is pending.
Judge Jones denied that request, saying that he had not yet made any decision about Meadows’ case. Therefore, he ruled, the state #criminal process — including Meadows’ arrest — would have to go ahead.
If the motions for removal of the #Georgia case are successful, the defendants would probably then argue in #FederalCourt that they should not be charged for state #crimes, (per) …the #SupremacyClause of the US Constitution, which says that fed #laws generally take precedence over state laws.
3 of the 19 defendants charged by #Willis were fed ofcls at the time…: #Trump, #Clark & #Meadows. Meadows filed a motion on Fri …to dismiss the charges against him, based on the Supremacy Clause.

DeSantis & Huckabee jousting over who'll be the first to get a #SupremacyClause case in front of the current Kangaroo #SCotUS: Here's DeSantis trying to ban "federal digital currency" (pretending it's about privacy).
Fascinating that all stories I can see about this pretend it's a legitimate concern (i.e., presume good faith) while omitting the part where STATES CAN'T OVER-RULE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Is there a U.S. #constitutional #scholar lurking?
I'm curious about whether the #SupremacyClause is invertible -- that is, if the national #legislature is enjoined from passing a certain type of law, does that injunction also apply to more local #jurisdictions, such as states and municipalities, likewise preventing them from making such laws or ordinances?
The Federal government has to get involved in this outrageous law proposed by #DeSantis. He is convening the Legislature in a Special Session to consider allowing Florida to transport migrants from anywhere in the U.S. at the Florida tax payor’s expense. This is unconstitutional. #SupremacyClause

Immigrant rights groups sue DeSantis over migrant flights
Thursday’s lawsuit claims that DeSantis’s effort is unconstitutional because it violates the Supremacy Clause, which establishes that federal laws take precedence over state laws, by attempting to "supplant federal immigration law with state policy."
