When are the states going to learn that a federal judge does not have jurisdiction over a sovereign state? Only the Supreme Court has that jurisdiction. The governor of Oklahoma needs to ignore the ruling of the federal judge just as Gov Brewer in Arizona should. If they want to sue then take it to SCOTUS. These federal judges are out of control.

I don't think the good citizens of Oklahoma should simply ignore the ruling. I'd like to see them saying hell no while giving that AA 'judge' the middle finger.

“When are the states going to learn that a federal judge does not have jurisdiction over a sovereign state? Only the Supreme Court has that jurisdiction.”

Sense when? If the U.S. Supreme court has jurisdiction over States then so does it’s inferior courts by delegations.

The flaw of the Constitution in place as apposes to the written Constitution authorized by the people(in their capacity as States) is the presumption that the actors defined and limited by that constitution have the final authority to judge the meaning of that constitution.

As Thomas Jefferson said such a power is the heights of madness rendering any such government who’s officers hold such power effectively lawless given that they are subject only to the limits of their own discretion not the limits of any written Constitutional law.

So to be frank, the constitution now in place is not a constitution at all.

In a Constitution the States being the ratifiers of the contract are the final Judge of their own written consent to be governed.

The plain English of the Constitution was written to make this judgment easy with respect to the limits of their capacity.

There should be no intrastate conflict with the Federal Government for the simple reason the Federal Government has almost no legitimate intRAstate powers to speak of.

IntERstate conflicts involve legitimate disputes between 2 or more states, in which case the Federal government has the power to arbitrate, and enforce its judgment by simply siding with one of the parties.
