Several States are preparing similar AZ laws. This should not have been necessary. For some time, there has been great dissatisfaction with the Federal Government growing at the expense of the States. Constitutionally, the States are sovereign nations that have agreed to a union of cooperation and have delegated specific powers to the Federal Government to act as a representative of the States in specific, defined matters. The debate as to which should be greater goes all the way back to the federalists vs. the anti-federalists. The Federalist idea has been winning, despite the 9th and 10th ammendments. The Civil War was a major victory, with good intentions, for power shifting to the Federal level. That is all past history, and may be irrelevant today. The problem is the shift to Federal power, and the shrinking of State and individual rights and freedoms, appears to be unabated. Many who oppose this are trying to re-assert State's rights. If there had been a more reasonable Federal cooperation with States, this could have been avoided.
