Abstract
  • Federalism is again a silent note in the presidential campaign, although some candidates
    advanced platforms or policies relevant to state-local relations. Despite partisan gridlock,
    Congress finally reauthorized the highway and education programs, with the latter increasing
    state and local discretionary authority, but regulatory enactments and Supreme Court
    diminutions of state powers continue apace. Legalized marijuana still experiences intergovernmental
    impediments; a revival of the Sagebrush Rebellion was a publicity failure; the
    federal government is poised to demand states’ compliance with REAL ID while also
    encroaching upon state regulation of the operation of autonomous motor vehicles.
