It is over.
30 state legislatures against 1 arrogant dictator.
That could work. At the very least, it'd force Obama to show his hand as a true dictator. FWIW, these same states can put more chips on the table by authorizing large numbers of citizens (say, all those with handgun carry licenses) to automatically be part of their respective state militia (NOT the State National Guard, which can be federalized by Obama), and further authorize ANY member of the state militia to acquire, keep and bear full auto weapons. Imagine if 5 million people either bought full autos and/or happy switches? The unmistakable message would be: DON'T TREAD ON US!
Lawless officials begat a lawless citizenry. Tell me which ones I am bound to obey from here on out? The ones they enforce, all of them, or only the ones they can find out about?
That, and there has to be some disobedience from states to the feds, too. A state like Arizona can refuse to follow federal orders when the feds refuse to follow their own laws. The hell with those orders about treatment of immigrants. Pick them up, charge them with theft of state services and illegal entry into Arizona, and defy the stupid federal courts that say they can’t. When the lawlessness is so obvious and antithetical to the interests of the people, no one will blame the states for simply following the legally passed and binding laws of the land instead of the dictates of a tyrant.
Why do you think they're so keen on the NSA's domestic espionage program?
