Gee, when I was in school, the states didn’t have to do this . . . . . . there was already a measure that the federal government had that did the same thing . . . . . . . . it was called the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Whatever happened to that Amendment??

HOWEVER - if THIS is what it takes to get the Congress’ attention . . . OR if seceeding from the union comes next, a LOT of liberals either better learn to use a gun or else learn to live as conservatives who don’t rely on or depend on a nanny state government to take care of them.

I’m locked and loaded if it comes to that!!

The outcome will be different THIS time, however!! Way to go SC!

I doubt very seriously that anyone whose people actually went through the Civil War want another one.

I think the state legislators are probably more concerned that if they take Federal money for unemployment programs, when the Federal money for those programs run out, they’re probably concerned that they’ll then be required by the Federal Government to keep on paying the benefits anyway. They don’t want to be forced by the Federal Government to have to take the money and then have to raise taxes on people in their state to keep the programs going.

The time for peacefully enforcing the Constitution has passed. All three branches of the federal government, under both party’s rule, have been whittling away at our freedoms. If we want our country back, we will have to fight for it.

These resolutions are fine; but they are only a first step. My state rep has ignored me on this subject. This Saturday, I will confront him, face to face and ask WHY?

What puzzles me so much is that not one single lawyer in this country has challenged the constitutionality of the porkulus and gotten a stay while it is reviewed.

Homosexuals can go to court to overturn election results they don’t like; but Conservatives can’t fight this mess? I am left with the rational that almost all lawyers are LIBs, Democrats and are worshipping the pretender.
