I am siding with Grandpa Simpson and refusing to recognize Missouri — at least until Missouri recognizes the Constitution. Last week, its Republican-dominated legislature failed, by one vote, to override a veto of the (so-called) Second Amendment Preservation Act.
The act, which had passed by a wide margin in May, would have invalidated all federal laws that "infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms," and would have made it a crime for federal officials to enforce such laws in Missouri. And so, the Supremacy Clause survives in the Show Me State, but remains squarely in legislative crosshairs around the country.
