hmmm. nullification of federal laws has long since been decided. nullification of executive orders that are likely unconstitutional in the first place could be an entirely different question.
Exactly what is needed.
Should be fine - if Congress and a puppet president can make crap up, why shouldn’t the States challenge it?
Ping.
The thing is Biteme is not the legitimate president so nothing he does is constitutional.
We have entered a new era in our nation. Whereas previously, the states could have a more or less reasonable hope that the Supreme Court would protect their rights from Executive and Congressional overreach, such is the case no longer. The states may be waking up to the fact that no one is going to keep this country from becoming a dictatorship but us.
Hopefully, at least the whole Midwest nullifies Sleepy Joe’s anti-pipeline edict. Maybe they can take a cue from the Left and call it the “Sanctuary Pipeline.”
Rights are God given to humans. States rights don’t exist..
States may ask its citizens NOT to pay Federal Income Taxes if the Federal Government threatens to hold back state share of Federal monies. States can take control of so called federal lands in their jurisdiction, and issue state permits to drill on “liberated” lands.
Most of the EO’s encroach into state powers. Since they are not actual law, they ought to tell mr biden where to put his signature.
Why can’t they go further and fail to recognize the election, and any law that comes from DC until the election is audited?
Good for them. I think states that have the pipeline should say fvk U Joe and sign a compact like the a-hole left did with Covid. The a-hole states unilaterally decided who should be prez so I think now states should just do whatever the fvk they want. This D.C. is dead to the republic.
It’s easier and more direct to recognize Biden is illegitimate and deem not to be obligated to follow any.
If any federal government agency wants to do something in my state, a series of public hearings must be held. Why should that be ANY different for the Executive Branch?
Come out and meet the PEOPLE and we’ll all decide this thing together. Not just because your EO demanded it.
Worth a try. Tie up the corrupt Biden DOJ leadership in lawsuits.
Excellent. The Democrats - as usual - thought they could do this when a Republican was in the White House (sanctuary cities/states anyone?) and that it could never be done against them. Well, guess what.
Now, find sympathetic federal district court judges in circuits that are dominated by Republican appointees. Then sue and have the district court judge issue nationwide injunctions to prevent each and every one of Biden’s executive orders from being carried out. Since these cases are in circuits likely to be hostile to Biden, it will take a good long while for the cases to work their way up to the Supreme Court.
Oh, and of course get sympathetic federal prosecutors in say, Arkansas or Kansas or some other deeply red state to initiate politically motivated prosecutions against partisan Democrats.
Two can play at all these games. Its time the Democrats learn that.
The States may be the last bastion between us and an out-of-control fed...
If North Dakota and Nebraska joined in this resistance, construction of the the last of the Keystone pipeline could theoretically continue. What would Sleepy Joe do? By the time the courts decided, the pipeline would be fait acompli. I doubt an army of federal agents would be very welcome and likely would receive little cooperation from local agencies. Send in federal troops... The Posse Comitatus Act specifically prevents US military forces from enforcing federal laws and domestic policy within the United States.
