    comes a time when blue states just need to draw the line and flat out refuse to follow federal laws and judges until federal judges stop being corrupt.

      They do it for marijuana laws but won’t treat anything else like that. I don’t understand.

        most blue states send more than they receive; all they have to do is stop sending money back to the federal government and red states would go broke.

          The states never see that money though. It’s directly from blue state workers’ paychecks and never passes through state owned bank accounts.

              You’re going to have to explain how that can change. And how it could be done quickly. Because I’ll tell you neither of those are remotely true.

        NYS pays more in federal taxes than we get in Federal dollars.

        I think we’ll be ok.
