1/n Ours is a Federal system in which there are distinct, but partially overlapping, sovereignties, each supreme in its sphere.

It has long been held that "police powers" are the realm of the state's supreme role. Indeed we see this when the Federal government could not even prosecute murders of protesters during the '60s//70's and had to resort to prosecutions based on Federal power (under 14th amendment) to enforce civil rights.

Here we have a gang of goons - an actual organization with an org chart with Kristi Noem at the top, which is openly pursuing violations of state powers - the power to pursue criminal sanctions against murders, kidnappers, etc. And also of conspiracy to murder, kidnap, etc.

So, here we have the Fed's blocking a state - Minnesota - from exercising its Constitutional, and supreme, authority, to redress these crimes.

So what would I do about it... (next post in this series)
