> Yeah, it's an example of government as envisioned by the founders working as intended - when someone at the state level overreaches, a federal court strikes it down

Jeffersonian democrats certainly were against that idea, as evidenced by nullification, which was in issue up until the civil war.

Maybe the federalists, but it sounds extreme even for them.

It sounds like something that the northern politicians had in mind in the late 19th century or maybe early 20th century.

i know its OT, but could you expand on that idea?
