As a brit I have no experience if this is good or bad, can someone explain?
Very good.
In the US, states were always meant to, and historically did, hold the vast majority of power. The federal government was just a necessary evil to regulate inter-state commerce, national military, etc. So much so, that our constitution states that any power not specifically given to the federal government (and there is not many) is assumed to be controlled by the states or the people:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
One thing people often miss is, even the powers given to the federal government are delegated.
We were meant to be governed form the bottom up as much as possible. "A government for the people, by the people."
What we are today is such a perversion of what we are supposed to be. So seeing a state assert its power and autonomy is a GREAT FUCKING SIGN! :)
