The court has ruled that Congress cannot force state and local governments to enforce federal laws


Alright Obamacare is unconstitutional.

I’m really thinking it is time for the people of California to march on Sacramento. If only CalGOP’s leadership wasn’t an absolutely useless gathering of spineless weaklings.

And likewise, the states cannot force the feds to give them federal funds when the states fail to adhere to federal laws.

So, okay, California. Have it your way. Go ahead and secede.

The feds will stop sending you funds to support your state, its infrastructure, and welfare, education and retirement system. It will seal your borders, withdraw its military, close off federal lands, buildings and property within the state. Shut down the federal highways that you depend upon for transportation and close the ports that it owns.

But, if you are willing to cough up a few trillion dollars to purchase the aforementioned properties and debts, I’m sure we can work something out. Then again, your state is already $500 billion indebt, so good luck with that.

Idiots. Stop smoking weed. It rots your brain.

What do you mean Congress can’t force state and local governments to enforce federal laws?

Then why do officials all over this nation swear an oath to abide by the laws of our nation. Many of them swear to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.

City law enforcement can’t be called upon to uphold the laws of the nation? Since when?

Police don’t help to apprehend the FBI’s ten most wanted?

I get so sick and tired of Lefty judges coming down with a decision that Leftist newspapers then herald until the end of time.

Social Security? 55MPH? Seatbelts? DWI Blood-Alcohol levels? The list goes on of the fed laws that are forced on the states.

Can we just chuck them all into the trashcan?

I don’t care what they do, as long as I’m not paying for it.
Cut off their Fed funds, out of State electricity, water, energy, oil.

Make them self-sufficient. Oh, and build a fence.
