It can be? If murder is defined at the federal level and not at the state
level, wouldn't all murders have to be prosecuted at the federal level?



But you're confusing "States" (as in United...) with "states" (a

Well, my mistake then. I wasn't aware the feds had exclusive jurisdiction
in murder cases.



Every heard the term "statism"?


Yup. I didn't know that it included murder though.
