Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.

EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.

The states that even deign to acknowledge this are the ones who actively WANT to. No one's forcing them.
