MN can't even give two murderers a fair trial because apparently Trump's goons can kill anyone they want, and then go scurry off like roaches.

If states had autonomy, those animals and their accomplices would be behind bars right now.

Give it time.

So that southern states could just shoot the Federal agents de-segregating schools, right? It's always a balancing act.

The key here is that the power is _distributed_. Nobody has the absolute power, even if it seems so. And it doesn't even matter that much that individual states are less than incorrupt (see: TX, WA, IL). All that matters is that they have their own agendas that don't necessarily align with the Federal one.
