How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even
define?



Doesn't this happen all the time? Highway speed limits? School
imperatives? Tons of stuff. I think it's just a way of cost-shifting, a
bunch of federal laws (good or bad) that must be paid for by the states.

It used to be a cliché, "Don't make a Federal case out of it...", but now
that's the rule rather than the exception (another cliché).
