The fact that such any kind of representative would even attempt to write such a law is a direct reflection on the quality of people who are being elected into some offices.
Those that write the laws have a responsibility to make sure that such laws are, in fact, written to be compliant with existing laws and regulations...the "source documents", if you will. Plus a whole host of other legal requirements and checks that are in place.
"Not obeying" federal orders, laws, or other such matters is not necessarily the same thing as "breaking the laws". Discression is used at all levels of government and government agencies on what laws and legislation will and will not be enforced, and to what extent.
For example, it's against the law to jay walk and I'm pretty darned sure that any law enforcement officer could empty out whole ticket pads writing citations against jay walking all day long. However, when weighed in against other aspects of law enforcement which may have higher priorities, I'm pretty sure that if entire police agencies suddenly focused the majority of their efforts on jay walking that there would be a LOT of backlash. But hey...the law's the law, right?
I'm sure that, as an "elected official" herself, people could find plenty of analogous violations on her part which should require her being fired from her office, as well.
She can bugger off.
