The battle over federalism begins on a new front as US Attorney General Eric Holder fired a shot across the bow of the great State of Oklahoma by threatening the loss of federal tax dollars over the State constitutional amendment initiative of an English-only requirement slated to appear on the 2010 ballot (via PatriotsForAmerica):

Looks like they don't like the 10th Amendment like they do not like us asking to see Obama's birth certificate.

[Yorktownpatriot]

Tell Komrade Holder to go staight to Hell!

[Yorktownpatriot]

straight down..don’t pass go..don’t collect 200 dollars

[FlingWingFlyer]

Why weren’t those Black Panthers prosecuted for intimidating voters? Because Holder is a racist piggy!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Holder is incompetent to be AG. He’s nothing more than just another Affirmative Action Jackson.

[Gargantua]

Tell Dick Holder that if he threatens Oklahoma again, Oklahomans and all Oklahoma businesses will immediately stop paying any and all Federal Taxes. See how Dick Holder and Prezzy Zer0banana likes them apples.

Two can play that game, Zer0... don't push your affirmative action luck.

This is an example of exactly why the founders “limited” the role/authority of the Feds. To ensure that the Feds would not Rule over the States!

I guess Oklahoma will just have to stop sending any taxes to Washington DC then.

Why weren’t those Black Panthers prosecuted for intimidating voters? Because Holder is a racist piggy!”

They were prosecuted- and found guilty. Holder let them go without a sentence.
You are right about Holder in all other ways.

[Windcatcher]

The Feds do that and I just might be tempted to cut a check to the State of Oklahoma...as my personal way of telling Holder to go ‘eff himself.

(and I don’t live there)

[o_zarkman44]

I’m pulling for Oklahoma. Just say NO to Holder.

[FrankR]

Let’s everybody send komrade holder a swastika...

[rightwingjew]

That’s what I’m talking about!

[SoConPubbie]

The correct statement by the State of Oklahoma, fired right back at Holder, is that if we lose any federal funding, we will be collecting all federal taxes and fees of any kind and giving those to the Federal Government using our discretion until such time as the Federal Government honor it’s obligations to the State of Oklahoma.

My nose tells me that Oklahoma will not be alone in this effort. Their neighbors to the South very much support them, and would also have such an amendment except for some procedural bull.

Give em Hell Okies, Gigg em Aggies.

Wonder if Obozo has ever heard the Rebell Yell.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I don’t understand how the feds can get involved in this. I don’t understand why the feds would get involved. Don’t many states already have English as their official language? It’s not like it’s unconstitutional to vote on this, so where is his “controlling legal authority” to get involved in a state election like this?????///

[CPT Clay]

send a shot over Holder's bough

[Texas Fossil]

send a shot over Holder's bough

And give him a Rebell Yell!

Looks like they don't like the 10th Amendment like they do not like us asking to see Obama's birth certificate.

Actually, it's that pesky Constitution that they really can't stand.

[TYVets]

Once again that ugly head of arrogance rears its head in the 0bama government.
