the can take any step they want. and teh feds will just ignore it.
for example bidens exec order blocks keystone. if ND says it unconstitutional what are they going to do? build it themselves?
biden ordered masks on planes. if ND says its unconstitutional what are they going to do?
The courts decide legality, not an AG. The Constitution expressly states that any case arising under the Constitution, laws and treaties of the United States go to the federal court system. Article 3, Section 2. Its not like there’s a ton of precedent on EOs and constitutionality.
It’s interesting or sad to see state politicians think they can rewrite the constitution. I think they probably know this though. Just another chance to throw their arms in the air and say they “tried” to their constituents.
Obviously any such attempts the state makes are, if both sides insist, going to wind up in Federal Court. This is just a way of getting them there.
Is the EO Constitutional? That will be decided EO by EO, just as with Trump.
I agree. There is a process to contest the legality/constitutionality of EOs. I don’t understand why a state legislature would think they can appoint a state AG to be the arbiter. That would clearly not be legal/constitutional.
I, for one, am glad to see so many alleged “conservatives” irritated about executive orders again. I’m not sure where they have been the last 4 years. Welcome back folks!
