the only thing MO can do is refuse to enforce federal law, they can tell the feds, "you want these laws enforced? Do it yourself, but don't expect any state or local help or resources from us".

They're well within their rights to do that, but it'll foster bad feelings between the state and feds.

This is just a bunch of reactionary Right Wingers trying to stick it to the "man", which will backfire badly on them.
