Infuriated by what they see as the long arm of Washington reaching into their business, states are increasingly telling the feds: Keep out!
Bills that would negate a variety of federal laws have popped up this year in the vast majority of states - with the amount of anti-federal legislation sharply on the rise during the Obama administration, according to experts.
The "nullification" trend in recent years has largely focused on three areas: gun control; health care; and national standards for driver's licenses. It's touched off fierce fights within the states, and between the states and the feds, as well as raising questions and court battles about whether any of it is legal.
