    This is a great idea. Moving everything from the Feds to the states is a core conservative value, so they should welcome this.

      They care about this as much as they care about proper handling of classified information

        They’ll care plenty when their representatives start getting tossed in state penitentiaries, where they can’t be pardoned.

            States are different from Federal. If a blue state incarcerates a MAGA leader, there’s nothing HitlerPig can do to get them loose, short of military force.

            It would be fun to snatch up Jr on a cocaine charge.

                A state will never get HitlerPig, he’s got SCOTUS immunity superpowers, but that immunity doesn’t extend to anyone else. If one of his henchmen has broken state laws, throw the state book at them.

                    Whats to buy? Its simple: If The MuskRat has been bribing people for their votes, and it violates state laws, that state can choose to arrest him, prosecute him, and imprison him, and there is nothing HitlerPig can do about it. He can pardon for federal crimes, but not state crimes.

                    The problem is that there are lot of major tipping points lining up, and everybody is waiting for one to finally tip. Maybe it will be the arrest of The MuskRat, maybe it will be the Luigi trial/verdict, maybe it will be the first American citizen that gets designated as a terrorist and shipped to El Salvador without due process, maybe it will be the cancellation of SS payments, maybe it will be a violent government reaction to a protest, etc.
