If I recall this legislation correctly, the Missouri law forbids state employees from aiding the federal government enforcing federal diktats. It imposes fines and jail time on state employees aiding the feds.

This is entirely within the state’s sovereign power to do so. The USSC in Prinz v US settled this question, when Clinton tried to draft state employees to carry our 2nd amendment enforcements. The court said states are sovereigns and can’t be forcibly drafted to aid the feds in their actions.

What’s really happening here is that the federal government cannot enforce its diktats without the assent and cooperation of the states. The feds simply don’t have the manpower or logistical means to police the states without the state’s cooperation.

Missouri’s law completely cripples the fascist federal bureaucracy trying to attack individuals or groups within a state. The Missouri law is a good law, and more states need to follow Missouri’s example.

Add in elected pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriffs, and the feds are in deep trouble trying to enforce its fascist diktats.

BTW, courts have consistently ruled that counties and Indian reservations are also sovereigns.
