Cool story bro. As far as I'm aware, presidential executive orders don't carry any weight outside of the federal executive branch. Unless those state laws are superseded by federal laws passed by the legislative branch, that executive order is worth less than the paper it was printed on.

It's wild that this whole article seems to treat this as having any legal impact. How could you go through all the effort of writing an article and getting comments without doing the basic research about whether an executive order has any impact on state laws?
Normalizing it. The BBC has a lot of Americans and corporation people on their board.
This is from last year before the election, but it's probably very similar if not the same:
Scroll down to the comments for the info:
They only care about "State's Rights" when they allow Texas to murder women pregnant with unviable fetuses
Not how this works, Donald. Take a high school civics class.
So the court can block this bullshit?
He... Has zero authority to tell states how to enforce their own laws. Executive Orders can't do this. They're not laws, they're directives for the FEDERAL government to follow within existing laws.
He doesn't know or care, nor does his base.
