“...you’re not supposed to be able to pick and choose your own laws to follow.” Tell that to CA that flouts the immigration laws, and CO and OR that ignores the drug laws. So TX should ignore the illegal same sex marriage ruling by the SCOTUS until they can find the article in the Constitution that gave them the authority to set the laws on marriage.
At least the immigration part of your post IS an authorized action of the Fed. govt. I haven’t seen an Amendment passed re: drugs, nor seen any authority for ~99% of the current Fedzilla.
NIMBY’s and fascists know no party it seems.
