On Tuesday, 05-26-09, Massachusetts State Representative Jeffrey Davis Perry (R-Sandwich) filed a Resolution before the House of Representatives to protect the Founding Fathers’ intent and the Constitutional protections of the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Massachussetts - who would of thunk. I guess even they have had enough in Taxachussetts.

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to President Hussein Omama.”

I like the idea, but there is a certain amount on imbalance in the Mass house and senate that doesn’t bode well for this.

The movement has begun. Get Ready Conservatives, push in your districts, LOCAL and STATE Elections matter.

Gosd bless the poor fellow for trying; he’s in the position of someone calling for pants at a nudist resort.

God bless

Unbelievable! You sure someone just didn't misspell Montana?

Excellent, more states jumping on the 10th bandwagon, hopefully they all have the cajones to push it forward and reverse the Fed madness.

[RoadTest]

Yeah. I live Republican with some backbone left!

[RoadTest]

“- - - he’s in the position of someone calling for pants at a nudist resort.”

Good analogy!

[keats5]

What a revolutionary idea!

[ajwharton]

Yes, there are some Republicans in MA, and conservative ones to boot. In the end this will get laughed outta Beacon Hill, tho. There are 10 moonbats to every Citizen in the MA legislature.

[samtheman]

Shouldn’t someone call Homeland Security? Isn’t advocating the 10th amendment an act of terrorism?

[fuzzybutt]

Me too!

I just day dreamed of over half the states banding together to challenge an onerous federal law on the basis of the 10th Amendment and the 10th only. It would go directly to the Supreme Court where our illustrious blackrobes couldn't avoid deciding if the 10th means what it plainly says.

[reg45]

If the Supreme Court of the United States were to decide against the 10th. amendment, that would be sufficient grounds for states to secede on the basis of breach of contract.

...filed a Resolution before the House of Representatives to protect the Founding Fathers’ intent and the Constitutional protections of the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution...

This will be laughed right out the door. Liberals don't care about what the founding fathers' "intended." Only liberals ways are much more wise and better for us all! Besides, the constitution is a living breathing document, meant to be usurped and contorted at a federal judges whim.

If they changed it to “We reserve the right to tax everything and anything first, before the Federal Goverment. They can get the crumbs.” THAT would pass.
