This theory that the state can pass a law "nullifying" a federal law has been tried and tried and tried. Apparently this asshat forgets about National Guard being dispatched to make sure an Arkansas school integrated. I'm pretty sure SCOTUS has been consistent in ruling Federal Law trumps State Law. His constituents should be angry he's wasting state time and money to get his bill passed.
