The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But insurrection is a crime against the United States Federal Government and the commission of such a crime would obviously be covered by federal courts.

Sure - but again, it's not at all uncommon for state courts to have mirror provisions or incorporate by reference provisions of federal law, and to have violations of federal law have an effect under state law.

Trivially, there are lots of instances where being convicted of a felony will affect your ability to do something under purely state law. For example, if you commit a federal felony (say, insurrection against the federal government) you might not qualify for a state license (say, get a state liquor license). If the state rule doesn't require a federal proceeding but simply incorporates or mirrors some federal requirement, then a state court has jurisdiction to make a finding about whether that federal requirement has been met.
