Where did you ever get such foolishness as the above statement? That has
been gone, finished, zipped, zeroed, nada'd, goose egged for many many
decades. The states can do nothing without permission from and in
compliance with the rules and regulations of the federal government. ....

This is only true because the federal government is a treasonous criminal.

yep, and because after the civil war states were made aware of the
consequences of opposing the government usurpation of their powers.

add to that the ignorance of most of my fellow countrymen about the
appropriate role of government in a constitutional republic.
