I meant a broken up nation.
What good does it do to be a “United States” when we are everything but united and as Justice Scalia wrote in his dissent: “If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign State.”
I would add that if the federal government is not going to protect the states, and the states are not permitted to do so, then the states are no longer sovereign and should be dissolved. At which point, the Constitution is invalidated and revolution begins anew.
