Great. As an American, you know we are a country of laws. I'm sure you follow them. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the law, you , as a citizen are obliged to follow it. If you don't like it you can work to change it, elect others who will work to change it or run for office yourself.

I don't care if you love or hate congress and the president. You are not above the law and you don't get to select which laws you follow.

Why should the state of Wymoning be any different.

If it is within the constitution they are entitled. The Fed is not entitled to over step their own authority. We will have to see what the Courts say about it all.

That is the fundamental problem, that there are too many federal laws that infringe on State's Rights. Hopefully this is the first of many rights that States reassert for themselves.

The Federal Government intruding itself on every aspect of citizens lives is ridiculous. It would be handled much better at the State and Local level... As the Founding Father's of Our Country first intended it to be.

The Founding Father's wanted a very limited role for the Federal Goverment, they were very suspicious of centralizing power in one place.

This is the first step in stuffing the evil genie back into the lamp.

Wyoming is exercising its Constitutional right as a state. The powers of the federal government are limited by the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

The Constitution Series: THE CONSTITUTION PART XI - LIMITED GOVERNMENT

The ' supreme law of the land ' has been captured by the 'Supreme Courts ' who have been hand picked by the leaders .

These ' injustices ' have refused to hear cases many times, like the one where Alan keyes has been trying to get heard for past year . Alan is a Constitution Major and one of the last of the great Americans , they won't listen to his appeal for justice .

You have it backwards. Federal law cannot invalidate state law when the federal government is exceeding its Constitutional powers.
