I don't really care about people smoking pot or doing any other drug but the supremacy clause is pretty clear and that is what they did to Texas so they should get it rammed right up their asses the same way. The simple fact is the democrats flout the law at every turn and we let them. All I am proposing is to not let them, just like they do to us at every turn.

I see nothing in that clause that nullifies the 10th amendment.

There isn't a drug, legal or otherwise that the Federal government have absolute control over. States can't overrule the Feds rules except to be more strict. I don't have to like the system to say use the system in place to wreck the left as they regularly use it to wreck conservatives.

It is the whole California setting emissions standards for the country thing. Jam it up their asses by using it against them.

So every state can legalize criminal migrants illegally in America and the feds can’t do anything other that give the states more money

Egg zackly. They can't do that and it shouldn't be allowed, up to an including locking up the politicians in those states doing so. The governor in Massachusetts is saying she will do all in her power to thwart Trump's plan to prevent mass deportations. At some point in doing so she will cross the line into criminality and get herself locked up. The governors of the states allowing recreational marijuana have already crossed that line and they need to be held to it.

Now would be a good time to address the issue and will prevent a lot of problems later. You can be perfectly legal by state law and still run afoul of federal law, this is one of those situations and they should learn the lesson that sometimes the dildo of karma arrives unlubed.
