a resolution calling for the dissolution of the federal government in the event that it abolishes the U.S. Constitution

Why would the feds bother abolishing the Constitution when the Supreme Court allows them to ignore it---in some cases to the cheers of alleged 'conservatives'?

Well, Arizona Politics and Politicians have never been what you'd call "TOP DRAWER"...I'd say they're more like "lockboxes"!

There is no such thing as States' Rights. Father Abraham abolished them in 1865.

emphasizing the sovereignty of the states and their constitutional right to "establish a new federal government for themselves

That was already tried about 140 years ago. The feds do not recognized state sovereignty or the Constitutional right to self determination.

A bold move to say the least.

I think Mr. Brotherton is right about emphasizing mental health issues in his state....I'm sure there's a whole lot of people like him suffering from rectal/cranial inversion disease. Probably the result of watching the ongoing Kobe/MJ/Martha/Pete Rose slop and nonsense while thinking he's really getting the real news....yes, another useful idiot is created.

Not much of an opus. Didn't say anything about how great the U.S. used to be.

Your link didn't go to the article. Could you give me a better one?

When I lived in Alaska they had their own party who were sorry they came in to the USA. I knew people who had voted to come in and were sorry they had.They talked about it freely. These people always set up tables with all the parties, to hand out information. Can not think of the name of the party right now.Seemed odd as I came from Mass and had family that were in the war to start country.I could not see any one leaving.May not like things about the USA but I do like my country and would just like it to be better.I am just an American.

I remember this one, but can't remember which year it was...

This is an old story from years ago.

For one, I don't believe that the legislature is yet in session.

But, most obviously to me, Gail Griffin hasn't been a state representative for years. She's currently serving as the Chairman of the Cochise County Republican Committee.

I remember that this was voted on in committee years ago but nothing ever came of it. I don't believe it made it to the house floor.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 6 2000

This is a February 2000 article. Any reason you are posting it today?

Rep. Bill Brotherton, a Democrat member of Johnson's committee, called efforts to promote the bill a "total waste of time."

"Obviously ... one of the more important issues we have is mental health in this state," Brotherton said mockingly. "I wonder if we are going to have a bill on the grassy knoll next to decide who shot Kennedy."

Note the similarity in language to the many shills who appear on FR whenever anyone suggests doing something other than kvetching about overreaching federal power.
