Conservatives really need to learn civil disobedience. Instead, we not only obey, but actually enforce unjust laws. Why?

Abbot and Paxton need to offer action, not words.

Posted earlier, but your question makes me want to re-post it here. It’s a valid question that states everywhere should be asking and deserves an answer.

The states and the people need to understand a few things:

1) The states MUST understand it is their RIGHT and their DUTY to reject and nullify unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are acts of tyranny. The Constitution supports such state action against unconstitutional federal acts in the Supremacy Clause (Art VI, Cl 2) and confirmed by the 9th and 10th Amendments.

2) The feds have effectively nullified the Constitution by ignoring it, invalidly changing it, and rejecting it. But the Constitution doesn’t belong to the feds. It is pointed directly AT the feds to limit and constrain them. That is why the feds hate the Constitution becasue it is the only legal bulwark of freedom against federal tyranny.

3) The Constitution belongs to the states and to the people and is on their side and it stands opposed to any federal act outside the specific, enumerated, and LIMITED powers delegated to the the feds by the states. Since the feds have effectively abandoned the Constitution and its constraints on them, it is now up to the states to stand against the unconstitutional portion of the feds, which is about 80% of what they do.

4) This is a battle for freedom and the Constitution which protects it against federal tyranny and is not unlike the same battle 250 years ago against the tyranny of King George. The American People through their states must be bold and brave to stand up for THEIR freedom and THEIR Constitution against the feds.

5) YOU DON’T NEED FEDERAL PERMISSION TO STAND AGAINST INVALID AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL ACTS. The Constitution and ONLY those federal acts in compliance with it is the supreme Law of the Land (Art VI, Cl 2). When the feds step outside their constitutional constrains, IT IS YOUR CONSTITUTION, NOT THE FEDS, THAT HAS THE FINAL SAY.

Thanks for the compliment!

Being forced to choose sides is actually a good thing. Sifts out the wheat from the chaff. We’ll know soon enough who the real Christians are and where the heretics lie in the shadows.
