Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government
Wow.
2 more and that’s enough for a constitutional amendment right? or a constitutional convention?
You go, girl!
Now, if one or two of those States pass a law requiring that a presidential candidate show proof of eligibility in order to get on the ballot, things might get interesting.
We need a Constitutional Amd to assert an existing Amd?
Maybe that’s why Palin has given her resignation for Gov. of Alaska. She is going to run for President of the Soverign States! Hmmmm?
It will be interesting to see what ultimately happens with this state sovereignty movement. It will take one tough governor and state legislature to tell the federal government to stick it where the sun don’t shine when they start threatening to take away federal money.
Here in Arizona, four Cabinet Secretaries sent threatening letters to our governor simply because one our senators, Jon Kyl, was making disparaging remarks about Obama’s stimulus plans. Because of what he was saying, they threatened to take away funding for various federal projects. That’s the type of hardball these thugs are playing, and who knows what they’ll threaten if a state really does stand up to them. I’d like to live in that state, wherever it is, when that showdown comes.
obviously so, since it gets ignored constantly.
Governor Perry mentioned something about secession in Texas, but Governor Palin was the first to take this kind of step. . . Wonder if Texas will be next . . . wow....
Does anyone know off hand which states? 36........that’s impressive. Last month I heard only about OK, TX
The Constitution means nothing to zero....same for his oath to defend it.
I like her more and more all the time.
Or she could be a president that actually upholds the Constitution of the United States
It says 36 states have had legislation introduced. Passing and signing is something else. What’s the problem with Republicans in the other 14?
They aren't as annoying in this shot...
introducing and passing it into law are vastly different... only a few states have signed it I think
