It's an interesting theory. One that you should read. I'll post a couple of excerpts, but you really need to go read the whole thing.

i asked before but got no answer, so i'll ask again...
how do you think the feds will impose their will on Missourians? think they'd be ballsy enough to come in with lawsuits? or will they wait for someone to "violate" their "mandate" relying on missouri law?
pretty annoying to watch some blonde beeotch on the news sit there all smug and say "Missouri Prop C passed, but as we've noted throughout the day, it is in contradiction to Federal law and really doesn't mean anything."
The fcuk it doesn't.
It means everything.
i'm wondering how this will proceed.
first, will some group in Missouri file suit to challenge the law? if so, what standing?
second, will the feds come in and file suit? that should be FUN!
just to give a little background...
The text of Prop C was passed by the legislature, and the Dems didn't want to have the Dem governor to have to veto it, and the Repubs agreed to put it on the ballot. the compromise to get it on the ballot, it appears, was to put it on the Primary ballot...
