why is it the US is hellbent on making everything a state by state issue but at the same time saying federal law is above state law in such cases like Texas but states with legal cannabis or states with legal abortion are allowed to be above federal

We’re a slightly tighter coupled EU with less history of separation. We’re states that are united. Not one big ol unified country.

The idea of checks and balances on the exercise of government powers extends to even the state/federal relationship.
