It can be.


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?

Yes...if that were the case, which it isn't.


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


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

They don't...which is why the United STATES is compriased of the various
"states" (small 's').

Every heard the term "statism"?


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

You don't know what the term "state" means, what the term "murder" means, or
what the legal definition of "human being" means either.
