More than a few states, facing the prospect of an increasingly activist federal government under the new Democratic administration, have passed measures in their local legislatures to assert their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.
Here are some bills from Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri (this one has to do with resistance to Federal aborotion laws), Oklahoma, California, and Georgia. More are on the way.

Given the knowledge of Waka’s general readership, this probably isn’t necessary but:
