Not, if the feds consider such state laws as unconstitutional.They are required to enforce the law, and it's illegal to mail something to someone where said thing is illegal.

That would depend on the state law to the jurisdiction where the mail is sent and whether the feds have an inkling to do it.The question is can the State enforce the law on someone OUTSIDE the State, and in that case it's the feds who have to enforce the law saying you can't mail something to someone where said thing is illegal.
The state can enforce their laws once the mail is delivered. They can't reach across state lines to prevent actions by someone in another state.That doesn't have anything to do with States being able to outlaw and control what actually is mailed to residents in the State.

But they can sue the other state to get them to enact regulations controlling mailing of certain items to certain states. Which would then be locally enforced.
State can't intercept that mail though. Typically even the federal government requires a warrant to open your mail.What's in the federal mail delivered to States cannot violate State law.
So a gun seller in Texas can mail me gun parts that violate NY law?

Yes they can look at your trash. How would they know who's trash to look at and when?Noted. But they can get a search warrant for a banned substance, and then figuring it out where it came from is based on the people in question keeping or throwing out the package and any shipping documentation.

Interesting, that.informers
Interesting, that.
It’s truly sad that the fascist right spends all this mental effort and energy contriving ways to violate citizens’ protected liberties rather than addressing actual problems and issues.What's in the federal mail delivered to States cannot violate State law.

Exactly. They started the ball rolling. Now whine and cry when the shoe is on the other foot.I'd be really worried if I was a Democrat .. but did they really think they were the only ones that could start invasive/frivolous legal charges against their political opponents.
