New Hampshire succeeds

New Hampshire legisature ^

[freedom lives]

A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 1, Article 7 declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State; and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction, and right, pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not hereafter be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in congress assembled; and

Whereas the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire, Part 2, Article 1 declares that the people inhabiting the territory formerly called the province of New Hampshire, do hereby solemnly and mutually agree with each other, to form themselves into a free, sovereign and independent body-politic, or State, by the name of The State of New Hampshire; and

Whereas the State of New Hampshire when ratifying the Constitution for the United States of America recommended as a change, “First That it be Explicitly declared that all Powers not expressly & particularly Delegated by the aforesaid are reserved to the several States to be, by them Exercised;” and

Whereas the other States that included recommendations, to wit Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia, included an identical or similar recommended change; and

Whereas these recommended changes were incorporated as the ninth amendment, the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, and the tenth amendment, 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, to the Constitution for the United States of America; now, therefore, be it

succeeds = secedes ? :)

[G.Mason]

And this was voted on, and signed into law when?

[CindyDawg]

I think it is just a warning.

[theDentist]

And the point of their bill is... what?

We’re all happy that NH succeeds, but at what? Wasting paper?

[trisham]

Does this have anything to do with Deval’s recent shenanigans?

[KarlInOhio]

Well, Obama portrayed himself as the New Lincoln.

“New Hampshire succeeds”

If you are going to do something to make yourself look dumb, make sure you do it in the most public way possible.

[Rennes Templar]

When a state succeeds, it’s called succession.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

It reads like that. “Hey, if the Federal government oversteps its bounds, we’ll consider the deal to be a part of the the federation of the US off.” More or less.

[JenB987]

What did they succeed in?

[sam_paine]

Oh please. It’s been sent to committee to die.

Why would they do that, didn’t they vote for this comedy show?

Nothing secedes like success, I guess!

The mouse that roars demands respect.

[DogBarkTree]

se·cede (sĭ-sēd') intr.v. se·ced·ed, se·ced·ing, se·cedes To withdraw formally from membership in an organization, association, or alliance. [Latin sēcēdere, to withdraw : sē-, apart; see s(w)e- in Indo-European roots + cēdere, to go; see ked- in Indo-European roots.]

[ThomasThomas]

The question is did they succeed at seceding?

[theDentist]

Oh! They wish to secede. You’re right, an oaf’s dream.

New Hampshire succeeds

Is that you, Whoopi?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

And the point of their bill is... what?

[CindyDawg]

NH has succeeded in getting the attention of Americans, including a lot of freepers. Ears are perked up. “What are they doing”?

Do yall know what they are righteously upset about?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

As Curly once said,” If at first you don’t succeed, keep on suckin’ till you do suck seeds!”

[Ender Wiggin]

Didn’t Ohio pass, or propose, a similar bill last year, something about sovereignty of the state?

And Montana I think discussed independence issues as well.

No, when a state succeeds, it's called success.

Is car insurance mandatory in NH yet?

[Cooter]

This is hugh and series.

[Southack]

Wait, let me guess...you did meth as a kid.

[ichabod1]

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking lately, that if the fedgov insists on treating the constitution as a piece of toilet paper, then we have no right to consider it binding on ourselves. That the fedgov has no natural right to rule us, that they do so solely at the point of a gun, as a hostile entity holding the citizens of the several states as hostages. And that secession is a right that we may exercise if and when we figure out a way to succeed at it.

I read the Russian diplomatic corps is reporting to Moscow that the US stands a 55:45 chance of disintegration by 2011.

Just because it hasn’t happened before (which it actually has, but not in our lifetimes), doesn’t mean it won’t.

[ThomasThomas]

Can we still use the quarter with their picture on it?

[Rennes Templar]

You didn’t get it.

[ichabod1]

I imagine this is part of the Free State Project. The Libertarians cooked up this scheme to choose a state, New Hampshire as it happens, and then have as many of them move there as possible and attempt to influence and eventually control the state government, and force it into libertarian principles. Sounds like they’re making some progress.

More Power To Them.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

“And the point of their bill is... what?”

Seems like a good point to me. States’ rights are minimalized by the left and rinos. the fed government doesn’t have the authority to do half the things it does

some states haven’t ratified the income tax, for instance

[ichabod1]

Well, if “cess” is what you find in a “cesspool,” then “suck cess” becomes a rather unpleasant and unsanitary instruction.

[central_va]

Ok, the “Yankees” are going to secede this time? Does that mean we southerners get to rampage thru the rust belt yelling remember “Gettysburg”? Actually, let me be the first to say it; don’t bother with secession, you are henceforth kicked out of the union. (the opposite of session). Go, just go.....

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

[DuncanWaring]

Apparently not.

[Durus]

There are a lot of patriotic Americans that would fight to preserve the constitution and they will also fight to preserve the union. A secessionist movement will only divide us.

[Centurion2000]

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

Keep dreaming Yank. You want a nuclear armed civil war?

[CindyDawg]

Would you fight to keep NH if they wanted to leave?

[Durus]

I live in NH. I don't want to leave the union. I don't recognize any individual or group “right” or “power” to remove my state from the union.

[central_va]

We kicked your ass once. We'd do it again.

Not that kicking libtard socialist Yankee ass all over the rust belt doesn't sound appealing, my point is this; let's do it peacefully this time. Yankees(libtards) Go, just go. Form your own socialist utopia, leave us out of it...
