    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?

    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
