Abstract
  • State-federal relations continue to be buffeted by the increasing polarization between political
    parties that often accentuates intergovernmental conflict. The hoary antebellum doctrine of
    nullification also has risen from the dead to point to a future of more state-federal conflict as
    states controlled by one party, whether Democratic or Republican, enact policies contravening
    federal laws and judicial rulings. Nevertheless, coercive federalism continues its now 45-year-old
    onward march as federal power penetrates deeper into state and local authority.
