Comment by Benjamin J. Reimler

J.D. candidate at the University of Iowa College of Law and author in The Journal of Corporation Law.
Rather than suppressing state policymaking, Congress should design a cooperative federalism framework that establishes minimum national standards while preserving state authority to exceed them. Environmental law and consumer protection provide effective models: federal law sets baseline requirements, and states remain free to innovate above the federal floor.
