Ashley Deeks, a law professor at the University of Virginia, and Kristen Eichensehr from Harvard Law School dive into the concept of 'entrepreneurial federalism,' where states actively engage in national security policy. They discuss state actions like sanctions and TikTok restrictions and the legal implications of these initiatives. The conversation highlights the importance of preserving state powers, the complexities of federal-state relations, and offers practical advice for states in crafting laws. Their insights reveal how a shifting national security landscape challenges traditional governance.
