@WordsmithFL You Iranians thought Disney world was a stiff proposition for an entire family before? Well you ain't seen nothin yet Iran! Love, Ron Desantis.
@WordsmithFL Perhaps he plans to deploy the Florida State Guard. /s
@Coctaanatis To check if paroled black felons are voting in Tehran.
Fed trumps State. Meaning he cannot implement policy that countermands US policy.
It literally is in the Constitution.
@Wbtphdjd I think page 3 in that article has the relevant court case, Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council. Massachusetts tried to punish companies doing business with Burma. The Supreme Court decided that it could potentially conflict with federal policy and hamper a President's negotiating position, since a President couldn't lift a state sanction.
#Politics Five minutes on Google tells me that Article I Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution probably prohibits #DeSantis from imposing #Florida state sanctions on #Iran. But ultimately that will be up to a court to decide.
Some states direct where their investments go, but that's different from imposing sanctions.
