This, I believe, is the very last guardrail for democracy.

We can wait for Congress or the Judicial Branch to work things out, but by then it may be too late, and too much has already been compromised.

If the Executive Branch wants to ignore the laws of the land, then States should play the same game. Imagine if California ports decide not to enforce tariffs. Imagine if ICE agents are subdued and told not to harass our migrant workers. What if abortions remain legal in California while the Feds try to outlaw it?
