Federal property is not exempt from state law.

Yeah it pretty much is. Crimes committed on Federal property are charged under Federal law, not state. However such a move would create a rather unpleasant situation, not unlike 1860. You’d have a Federal government openly defying state laws and local sentiment.

Depends on the prosecutors. On a military base, the JAG officers would usually meet with the prosecutor to determine their best strategy.

Which state will be the one to fire on Fort George Tiller?

The Supreme Court is expected to put the question of abortion back to the states. It’s 1860 all over again with the federal government stomping all over states’ rights.

Nope, that may be how they are charged, but at least on military installations, except on a few that are exclusive federal jurisdiction, both federal and state criminal law apply. Usually the states let the feds have first crack, but it’s not necessarily so. And if the feds don’t prosecute, the state can.

Federal officials, in the scope of their employment, are immune to state prosecution, but that has nothing to do with whether they are on federal property or not.

There is no short answer to this question. It all depends.

Federal government would probably be less inclined to support Warren's evil idea if the 17th Amendment had never been ratified imo. After all, probably fewer people like Warren in power.

Insights welcome.

I believe postal service drivers, at least when it was a full part of federal govt, were not required to have state drivers’ licenses even when driving on state roads and streets.

And Federal buildings are exempt from state/local building codes. Feds use their own rules for fire escape doors, etc..
