> My Administration must act with the Congress to ensure that there is a minimally burdensome national standard — not 50 discordant State ones. …

Sounds like leaving it up to Congress! But then the administration vows to thwart state laws despite the vacuum of no extant preemption, so effectively imposing a type of supposed Executive preemption:

> Until such a national standard exists, however, it is imperative that my Administration takes action to check the most onerous and excessive laws emerging from the States that threaten to stymie innovation.

So preemption link is relevant, I think; and at any rate, helpful to give background to those not familiar with the concept, which constitutes the field against which this is happening.

Also why are they small federal government states rights for things but big federal government centralized power for this? It doesn't make sense to me.

When you start thinking of the political elite as out of touch sociopathic aristocrats, it becomes easier to understand their behavior.

Their goal is to make money and enrich their own lives at the expense of everyone else.

Stephen Miller is just super weird though. Don’t bother trying to figure that guy out.
