Well, it isn't like Oregon doesn't have a reputation for breaking  
Federal laws when deemed necessary.

See: Physician assisted suicide and Medical marijuana.

I like Mr. Kollas's idea of having cars built in Oregon.
I was rolling that around in my own head after I heard of the big 3's  
imminent demise. I thought that most every state should have their  
own car manufacturers.
I wouldn't necessarily start out with everyone making the entire  
vehicle.
I would use the Tesla model, and use a chassis built by a company  
already set up for such a task.
Preferably a Body-on-frame design rather than a unibody/monocoque base.
Detroit has the infrastructure for such a task and could supply  
chassis for car manufacturers much more cheaply.
I imagine the startup cost's would be enormous.
