And since when can the State arrest Federal agents if they are protecting Federal property?Aren't they a level above the State?
They can't arrest them if they are on Federal property protecting it, but they CAN arrest them if they are off Federal property, because the state has jurisdiction on state property. The state does not have jurisdiction on Federal property.
With that said, some states went to war with the Federal government once before, and it didn't work out very well for those states. As a matter of fact, the same Dems squealing like pigs NOW about "federal abusive power" are the same folks who (wrongly) accused those states who went to war with the Feds before of "treason".
Last time, it was not treason, because the states LEFT the Union, and formed their own country - therefore, they were not waging war against their own government - they lived in a different country, one which the US declared war on and invaded in order to annex it (the US also talked of annexing Canada around that time). This time, unless these blue states are willing to secede from the US, then it IS treason, as they are waging war against their own government.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
