I’ve lost count of how many states have declared sovereignty in defense against this psychotic administration.

They haven't declared anything. With, I believe, only one exception, all these state movements have resulted in week-kneed resolutions. Resolutions have ZERO legal effect and are nothing more than empty gestures. Let's start seeing the states pass laws to wean themselves off the federal tit; stop sending so much of their revenue to the feds; and take back law enforcement, land and resource management, and other things that should properly be controlled by the states, but which are currently in federal hands.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington. Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho,...
