I don't think so. The ACW settled the issue of divisibility, and the South lost that one. We are now unequivocally the United States, not these United States. Does that mean that every state must be like every one? No, but it does mean that Federal law is supreme. You mentioned a few areas fully open to Federal law. They once were and, and that may be returning in force in the near future. We've had quite enough of the private sector playing one state or region off against the others.
