It would legalize the doctrine that pending State laws or State legislation which might be enacted by certain States in the future. could offset and nullify Federal legislation which might not meet with the approval of the majority of members of any State legislature or the Governors of certain States. This bill would in effect lead to confusion. consternation. and endless litigation on the interpretation of jurisdiction between State and Federal laws pertaining to a great number of laws that affect the economy of our Nation. If this bill is enacted into law. the courts would be called upon to settle State and Federal jurisdiction questions involving civil rights. common carriers. transportation. copyright and patent laws. immigration. pure food laws. farm products. labor laws and numerous other regulations which affect our economy. In listening to the debate yesterday. I was amazed that some of the proponents of this measure inferred that the President and the administration supported this bill.
