| NEWS | news2a.com/new-jersey/nj-… The @NewJerseyOAG was elated to see this New Jersey court uphold restrictions on firearms for adults under 21. A twisted finding the court arrived at after concluding that those under 21 are both part of “the people” mentioned in the Second Amendment AND legal adults under New Jersey law. A situation ripe for SCOTUS intervention.

Shipbuilding in the United States has been in shambles due to decades of shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. rolls out about three large cargo ships a year while China does around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis. Sunday.

@PNWForestKing Don't misunderstand me. I am not a fan of the law. I am not trying to "defend" it. But sadly, AFAIK it's legit.

@PNWForestKing The law passed in WA doesn't discriminate. It specifically says it applies to all law enforcement. So your case law does not apply.

POPPYCOCK: Here's the law (below) versus opinion (the REPOST)... Federal law enforcement officers do not have to follow state laws that dictate attire, uniforms, or related requirements (such as prohibitions on face coverings/masks while on duty). Federal law enforcement answers to federal standards and the U.S. Constitution, not state-level dress codes or attire dictates. If a state law directly conflicts with federal operations or authority, it generally cannot be enforced against federal officers. Federal agencies like the FBI, ICE, CBP, U.S. Marshals, and others set their own policies on uniforms, dress codes, grooming, and protective gear (including whether masks or face coverings are permitted for officer safety, anonymity in certain operations, or other mission needs). These are governed by federal regulations, agency directives, and operational necessities—not state mandates. Key Supreme Court cases most frequently cited in legal arguments and court filings when addressing whether federal law enforcement must comply with state laws on attire, uniforms, masks, or related operational regulations. These cases establish foundational principles under the Supremacy Clause (U.S. Const. art. VI, cl. 2), intergovernmental immunity, and federal supremacy over state attempts to regulate federal operations or officers. McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 316 (1819) This is the foundational case. Chief Justice Marshall held that states cannot tax or otherwise burden federal instrumentalities (here, a national bank), famously stating that states have no power "to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control, the operations of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress." This principle is routinely invoked to argue that states cannot dictate federal uniforms, attire, or operational policies (e.g., masking for safety or anonymity), as it would control federal government functions. Mayo v. United States, 319 U.S. 441 (1943) The Court reinforced that "the activities of the Federal Government are free from regulation by any state." This has been cited in modern contexts (including federal complaints against state mask bans) to support that states lack authority to impose attire or identification requirements on federal agents performing federal duties. North Dakota v. United States, 495 U.S. 423 (1990) (plurality opinion) The intergovernmental immunity doctrine prohibits state laws that "regulate[] the United States directly or discriminate[] against the Federal Government or those with whom it deals." Recent federal arguments against discriminatory state laws (e.g., mask bans exempting state officers but targeting federal ones) rely heavily on this. In re Neagle, 135 U.S. 1 (1890) A federal marshal was immune from state murder charges for killing someone while protecting a Supreme Court Justice. The Court established a two-prong test for Supremacy Clause immunity: (1) the act was authorized by federal law, and (2) it was "necessary and proper" to federal duties. This protects federal officers from state criminal laws conflicting with their operations, including potentially attire-related rules if masking is deemed necessary for safety or mission needs. Lower courts still apply this test. Johnson v. Maryland, 254 U.S. 51 (1920) A federal postal driver could not be required to obtain a state driver's license, as states cannot impose licensing/qualification burdens on federal employees performing duties. Cited in recent mask-ban litigation as an example of invalid "direct regulation" of federal operations (analogous to state rules on federal attire or identification). Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387 (2012) Federal immigration law preempted parts of Arizona's state law attempting to regulate immigration enforcement, emphasizing that states cannot undermine federal priorities or operations.

@PNWForestKing @BBMagaMom No, it doesn't. The Supremacy Clause says Federal laws supersede State laws where they directly conflict. Face masks are department policy, not law. State law overrules. Federal agencies MUST obey State laws, just like everyone else, except where the Supremacy Clause kicks in.

Dude. You're wrong. In order to make laws in a state, the power to do so CANNOT have ALREADY been delegated to the federal govt. This is the 10thA - all powers NOT delegated by the Constitution to the federal govt...are reserved to the people & the states. The Constitution has delegated the power to make laws, rules, regs for federal agents to the FEDERAL GOVT. This delegation of power to ONLY the feds is found in the N&P clause. This is the last clause in Article I Section 8 - Congress has the power to make all laws necessary & proper for carrying INTO EXECUTION the foregoing powers (the powers preceding this clause) & all other powers vested by this Constitution in the govt of the US or in any dept or officer thereof. The Executive Branch EXECUTES the laws made by Congress. It hired agents to do this. All power over these FEDERAL agents belongs to the federal govt - which I just showed you. States have ZERO authority to make laws regulating the conduct or attire of federal agents because THAT power was Constitutionally delegated to ONLY the FEDERAL GOVT. And YES federal policy for federal agents does in fact supercede any state law trying to regulate federal agents. Because states have NO power in this area. Now, the state laws that fed agents have to follow are the regular local & state laws that EVERYONE has to follow! States MUST have the power before they can make a law. Power over federal agents was delegated to ONLY the FEDERAL govt by the CONSTITUTION. Literally the 10thA - a state can only exercise power if the Constitution DOESN'T delegate it to the feds and the Constitution doesn't forbid states from exercising it. Power over federal agents is CONSTITUTIONALLY delegated to ONLY the federal govt.

Wrong. A federal agent's uniform is regulated by their federal dept. The Constitution delegates to the FEDERAL govt the AUTHORITY to make all laws necessary to carry into execution the powers delegated by the Constitution. This is a DIRECT DELEGATION of POWER to the FEDS! Only the federal govt may make laws & regs for their federal agents - including their ATTIRE! That means STATES HAVE NO POWER IN THIS AREA! States are BARRED by the 10thA from regulating anything to do with federal agent attire! Because the Constitution ALREADY gave this power to the federal govt. No state can regulate federal agent attire. PERIOD.

@lakeside227 @PNWForestKing @BBMagaMom Wrong. Federal agents MUST follow State laws, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, unless Federal a Federal law directly conflicts with a State law. Face masks are department policy, not law. The State law is supreme in that case. Don't take my word for it. Look it up.

@lakeside227 @PNWForestKing @BBMagaMom Wrong. "Federal agencies" do not make laws. States do. Repeat: Federal agents MUST follow State laws, except where the directly contradict Federal LAWS. Not rules. Look it up.

@eachus @PNWForestKing @BBMagaMom This is incorrect. States have zero authority over what federal agents WEAR in the commission of their federal duties. That is set by their federal agency.
