federal law applies everywhere in United States. Where did you get the idea it doesn’t?


Should the federal government be able to imprison judges who judge the federal government is overreaching and/or doing something illegal?


No, the executive branch is responsible for imprisoning. Judges are supposed to interpret the law passed by the legislative branch. They don’t pass law from the bench. The executive branch enforces the law.


They are supposed to, but that’s not what it says at “State and local jurisdictions whose officials: (a) willfully and unlawfully direct the obstruction of criminal law, including by directly and unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties necessary for public safety and law enforcement”


The tenth amendment is a good starting point.


The 10th amendment is literally federal law.
