The USA internally, is not a singular country. But a Federation of Sovereign States. Not quite. The USA is a federation/union of partially self-governing states, not sovereign states. Like Germany and Russia. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body. Alternatively, federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs. btw. There are separatist movements in both Texas and California. Not so successfully ones though :) |

Having worked and lived in Germany. Their 'States' are not Sovereign States as with the USA. Germany is not as big as the US is. And there are no sovereign states in Germany. And there are still no sovereign states in the US. Germany and the USA is however sovereign states. Just as Sweden is. Or is it? Ever heard of the Republic of Jämtland? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Jamtland Or The Republic of Skåne? https://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpsyklopedin.org%2Fwiki%2FRepubliken_Sk%25C3%25A5ne |

The USA internally, is not a singular country. But a Federation of Sovereign States. Apples and oranges. 'Sanctuary Cities/States'... Immigration is, per the US Constitution, the exclusive domain of the Federal Government. See Article I, Section 8. To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization... 'marijuana laws'... Per the 10th Amendment, that is supposed to be a State power. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. The US Constitution is silent on the regulation of various drugs. Therefore it is a State power, just like the regulation of the rest of Medicine is... https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

Edit: Having worked and lived in Germany. Their 'States' are not Sovereign States as with the USA. The states of the United States are not sovereign either... sovereignty is "the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies." If they were, there would be no United States, but fifty independent nations. The 14th amendment of the Constitution guarantees this: "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.." et al. As a famous example, George Wallace and others who opposed integration and the civil rights movement as contrary to their states' laws found this out the hard way... (the 14th was adopted just after the civil war precisely to prevent states reinstituting slavery or equivalent under the guise of state law.) As MajorKong noted states do have authority to make their own laws via the 10th amendment for anything not covered by the Constitution, as long as they do not violate the rights granted to The People and responsibilities of the Federal government as spelled out in it. ....but then again I am a foreigner so could not possibly understand such intricacies. 😀 |

'marijuana laws'... Per the 10th Amendment, that is supposed to be a State power. marijuana is a plant and one not native to the USA. So it had to be imported, er smuggled, into the USA. Crossing the international border is a power granted to the Federal Government. Making sure that state Texas doesn't allow adulterated drugs to be shipped in interstate commerce is a power given to the Federal Government. Now Texas making a green traffic signal meaning stop and a red one meaning go is permitted under the Tenth, except on Post Roads. |

marijuana is a plant and one not native to the USA. Although most feral cannabis is descended from industrial hemp, migrating birds have been known to poop marijuana seeds that grow wild in warmer North American locations. If it were not for being illegal and thus destroyed, there would doubtless be native marijuana. (It's native if nature does it. :^p) |

...migrating birds have been known to poop marijuana seeds that grow wild... Yes. I have even found marijuana plants growing in my backyard in Stockholm. And in less than three months, the Canadian company Aurora Cannabis shares value has increased 348 percent. The company is just one of several manufacturers of the drug-based drug, whose shares are traded in Sweden. Thousands of Swedes buy cannabis shares https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.svt.se%2Fnyheter%2Finrikes%2F1-000-tals-svenskar-koper-cannabisaktier&edit-text= CANADIAN CANNABIS COMPANIES SHARES DEVELOPMENT 3 MONTHS Cannabis Wheaton Income Equity: + 483% Aurora Cannabis: + 348% Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp.: + 193% Supreme Cannabis Company: + 106% Harvest One Cannabis: 89% Delta 9 Cannabis: + 4% Source: Avanza |

Sanctuary States and the Sanctuary Cities allowed by the States is another interesting Constitutional issue. Does the Federal Government have the Constitutional authority to force the Internal Sovereign States to notify them of crimes which are not crimes within the States. If they do it is an unfunded mandate and wll sap resources that were intended to be spent elsewhere. |

If those arrested for State Crimes and would have been quickly released. Does the Federal Government have the Constitutional authority to force the States to increase the time of incarceration. In order for Federal Law Enforcement to arrest this person for non criminal acts within the States?If so does the Federal Government have an obligation to pay for this incarceration? Or absent such an open purchase order can the State raise a middle finger to ICE? |
