    When should the federal government interfere in state level decisions?

    Should the federal government ever intervene in a state's business?

    Take for example, District of Columbia v. Heller.

    What if the Mayor of DC, said screw you, I'm still going to enforce the ban. What then is the role of the federalies?

    Only the first of these questions is philosophically meaningful & significant.

    All the others are just gaseous pieces of fluff that divert attention away from the fundamental & primal importance of the first.
