Chris Armitage: The legal foundation for soft secession was written by conservative justices who never imagined blue states would use it. Yale Law Professor Heather Gerken calls it "uncooperative federalism." States don't have to actively resist. They can simply refuse to help. And without state cooperation, much of the federal government's agenda becomes unenforceable.
The infrastructure is built. The legal precedents are established. The money is there. Blue states have spent two years sharpening these tools. Next week, the governors meet again. The agenda, according to three sources, includes a discussion of whether to coordinate state tax policy to offset federal cuts.
As blue states prepare to deny federal agents access to their databases, their highways, maybe even their airspace, the soft secession isn't coming. It's here.
