When a federal official commits a crime within a state's borders, that state can prosecute them under state law, and no presidential pardon can touch the conviction. When the federal government demands state cooperation with enforcement, states can refuse, and no federal command can compel them. These powers build on each other: refusal creates space, independence creates resilience, and both create the conditions for attack. The doctrines are not theories. The Supreme Court has affirmed them repeatedly. Conservative jurists built the framework, and now it's available to anyone willing to use it. This booklet explains how. By the end, you will know exactly what to do and why it can work.
