I understand that folks can vote every 4 years for a change of administration.   But unlike some nations, we can't call for a vote of confidence, or, reschedule at times of uncertainty.

My question stands though DW.   Does a local agency have the right to defy a federal mandate if they feel it's immoral?  Would we live with 4 years of genocide before acting,   (Where are your boundaries)?

 Great questions on the use of authority.    I've said for decades that the 'purpose/scope' of the federal branch is fair game for conversation and action.

Just months ago the R. party was screaming bloody murder over Pres. Obama's executive orders, now some of those same folks praise Pres. Trump's executive orders.  Reversed for D of course.  

Pres.  Obama was reviewed by the courts and now Pres. Trump will be as well.
