TO AFFIRM SOUTH CAROLINA'S SOVEREIGNTY UNDER THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION OVER ALL POWERS NOT ENUMERATED AND GRANTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BY THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Look, it’s a sign of the times, that’s all. From a tiny acorn grows a mighty oak and all that. All it means, for now, is that many people are finding the current state of things to be intolerable (under either party), and they’re getting at least a little bit of a stir going in their legislatures. Even if one of these resolutions passed, the real test would be if a state tried to exercise it’s authority under it. If nothing else, it represents a little bit of pushback against the steadily encroaching federal power.
As the country crumbles there will be much more of this.
Until one of these resolutions is passed, this is all just talk.
Yep
At least they are doing something. What do we do, just sit back as the RINO and dem senate alows our Marxist zer0 to take over out country? It won’t be allowed. The time to fight back is now, while we still can.
Save enough to pay the fine for underpaying.
EXACTLY.
slavery was an issue North and South, it had nothing to do with this. Better check your history.
Still comes from a Communist source.
Figures
“But if a state did pull out, would........”
It’s a good question. I think the feds would just “pork” us into submission. But what if there’s nothing left to “pork” us with?
Here’s what they’d do: Use force to go after a few rogues after first identifying them as child molesters.
About “people defining the authority of the US”, if you read your history you will see that it was the people of the thirteen original, sovereign colonies that delegated, through their individual state's governments the powers granted to the US via the Constitution.
The concept of a direct relationship of the people to the Federal government is a 1980s fallacy that is often taught in the public school system.
And unlike your other comment, there is no mechanism to dissolve the Union, nor was there any intent ever to do so.
Your assertion about “neo-confederate”, what ever that is, has nothing to do with any part of this discussion. However, keep in mind that the seceding states in 1861 were not attempting to dissolve the Union, only to withdraw. It would have been impossible for the Confederacy to dissolve the Union.
When South Carolina seceded in 1860, that left 33 states in the Union....hardly a threat to the Union.
I am not sure where you see a relationship, but the facts do not serve your post.
You’re wrong.
If Obama's misrule causes the Federal Government to become insolvent or unconstitutionally tyrannical, the escape valve is for States individually or in groups to secede. The Palmetto State has experience along these lines. It is perhaps to plug this escape valve that Obama's need arises for an especially powerful, strong and well-funded Civilian National Security Force .
Nah, my history is fine.
.....need to quit sending money to Washington and quit taking money
Agreed!
The Obots really come out for threads like this. It’s very important for them to discourage this kind of talk.
Oklahoma will probably pass it. And it doesn’t require the signature of our governor!
That’s actually a very good idea, while still legal.
“Letter of Grave Concern”
LOL! I don’t know though, I think their prohibition on fighting is just a prohibition on fighting against evil. I think if it looks to them like their power to enslave us is slipping away, the guns will come out.
Only operative on legitimate federal authority. NOT operative on the Barbra Streisand they keep pushing. Not that it stops Congress and Obambi (Or other past presidents).
