While I've criticized the system here, the judge is the judge, and the Supremacy Clause makes her decision the law of the land. There's no room for ignoring it, and this year's hunt must therefore be cancelled.<br /><br />Moreover, somebody counseling the state to ignore the ruling is really counseling private individuals to bear the risk. Should Wyoming ignore the ruling and the hunt go forward, when the U.S. Attorney gets around to issuing arrest warrants, it would be private individuals who would bear the risk. It would be one thing for a Governor to ignore the Federal Government, as foolhardy as that would be, in some important issue, but to counsel individuals to run the risk of committing a Federal crime is quite another.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.com
