Does anyone have a feel for whether this actually means anything? I mean, politicians make pronouncements all day long, but will they conduct themselves any differently? Though I’m a great advocate of state’s rights, I would like to hear more about the practical effect of the sovereignty movement.

What I fear is that this is just a bunch of “window dressing”, without any intention on the part of the states to amend their obeisance to Washington. The states have been kneeling at the federal “altar” for an awfully long time. Is a sovereignty measure going to change anything?

Comments?

Several states have voiced opposition to receiving some portions of the “stimulus” money the fed has legislated. The fed has threatened them if they do not take the money...and mandates. There is also a matter of the federal government destroying the people’s future with huge debt. Many states are objecting to this. I am not sure what consequences you are looking for, but I would say that this is a huge one thus far. And, one that may actually prevent bloodshed in the future. This little dictator and his minions must be stopped!
