Random question time: Can a state protect its laws as intellectual property? Burr Send a noteboard - 26/02/2010 11:46:00 PM
For instance, could Hawaii or Massachusetts patent their health care systems as business models so that any another state or the federal government would have to negotiate an agreement allowing the use of similar systems or subsystems?

Could an...um...entrepreneurial state like California hope someday to recoup the costs of its legal research and development should any of its crazier initiatives become popular with other states?

Could the federal government require that states stop enforcing all state laws plagiarized from federal codes?


Rule #1: Wild guesses and outright lies are allowed, but must be interesting and stated as certain fact.

Rule #2: If you answer a random question, you must ask a random question.
