In a free society if the People of the State of Alabama wish to ban 3 legged dogs we can do so, if the people of Texas want to have 3 legged dogs they can do so.

Yeah right Mr. Harris! As if you guys would ban your official state animal

You have a point, but of course there are interventions from the federal government from time to time in whatever form they take. Like with desegregation, when it was 1970 and some local towns were STILL not in compliance with Brown v. Board of Education. While each state eventually complied in their own ways according to their own state legislatures, they did eventually comply to the secondary and tertiary Supreme Court rulings that basically said "No, really. Desegregate."
And of course, there are some Texans who believe that Texas has the right to cecede based on a clause in our little founding documents [img]smile.gif[/img] There are limitations on what a state can feasibly do.
But complience with the will of the Feds comes at the pork-barrel bargaining table than any other kind of coersion.
