Hencely v. Fluor Corp. · ¶101

The Constitution divides authority between the Federal Government and the States in many areas, but not when it comes to war. War is the exclusive domain of the Federal Government, but the Court allows state (or foreign law) to encroach on that domain. The Constitution precludes that encroachment, and therefore petitioner's suit is preempted. Because the Court holds otherwise, I respectfully dissent.
