JSH was quoting federal law, which the states are under that authority. It's just like recreational marijuana is illegal federally, and so illegal, regardless of state law.

As I've always said, you resolve these contradictions by limiting the power of the federal government to only that absolutely necessary. It seems to me vehicle license, registration, and insurance laws should fall under state authority, but we've been trying to grow the federal government as quickly as possible for some time now. Both political parties do it when they are in office, so the parties are indistinguishable on this most important aspect.
