You should have studied for that PhD, then you wouldn't have had to lie about
having one.


Yes you should,
Ever hear of the commerce clause?

There are thousands of Federal laws that trump State laws.

The bad part about the issues at hand is
the state can confiscate your stuff.
and you have to spend thousands to prove they were wrong.


It works both ways there are Federal laws that overule state laws and
stae laws that overule federal laws. Kidnapping is a state crime but
made federal if you cross a state line with the victim. All federal
civil rights laws trump state laws unless the state's is more liberal.
I think most federal laws have a clause stating how they relate to
state laws. As clear as mud isnt it. The American Civil Liberties
Union is the place to contact tfor information on specific laws. I
believe they have already been involved in some cases in Virginia.
