There is a little bit more information in this article than what was posted yesterday. Rep. Kendell Kroeker seems to have his head on straight.

Rep. James Byrd, D-Cheyenne, said he's opposed to the legislation. "If you want to pick a fight with the feds, let's pick a fight with the feds that's about something that means something," he said.

So destroying a Constitutional right doesn't mean anything to him?

Not sure these “special exemptions” help the Country.

Just this might be the first really kick in the ass King Obama will be getting. He is treading on our freedom and most of us do not take that lightly. The rest of the sheep will starve after the free stuff quits as King Obama feeds his bank account.

Byrd said he believes that if Wyoming passes the bill into law, it will lose in the federal courts.

And Wyoming would take seriously the decision of a court which is a branch of the other litigant because.....? Obviously federal courts have no ethical/moral legitimacy and shouldn't even have the facade of legal authority in cases where the federal government is one of the parties. For heaven's sake, they make judges and jurors recuse themselves if they so much as KNOW one of the parties, let alone if they were EMPLOYED by them. Of course, that begs the question of who would decide state vs. federal questions, because we obviously don't want to be taking it to the UN or some sort of international court populated by tin pot dictators and thugs.

The only idea I've come up with would be to have it be a panel of jurists from other state courts. That way they're not directly beholden to either of the parties, states have a slight built-in advantage as should be, but a state doing something truly out of line still wouldn't be able to get away with it.

"We're a sovereign state with our own constitutional form of government," Kroeker said. "We've got a right to make our laws, and if the federal government is going to try to enforce unconstitutional laws on our people and take away the rights of Wyoming citizens, then we as a state are going to step up and make that a crime."

Oh, yeah!

Dear Texas:

I plan to emigrate to Wyoming instead of your state. I get to keep my armaments, and, I do not have to pay Spanish companies to build roads for the Communist Chinese because of the taxpayer funded NAFTA Superhighway nonsense
