Well, if there were 38 states, they could agree on an Amendment clarifying the Commerce clause and immediately ratify it.
Short of that, I think the Congress considers itself immune to the governors, as though they do not represent the will of their people as much as the states’ representatives in congress do. The state legislatures should be able to recall Reps and Senators so they understand their place.
I like Virginia’s approach.
Make it a law that citizen’s do not have to purchase insurance.
Any other states done this?
No hope in my state (NC). We Democrats run everything and have for years. Hopefully, there will be some real change this November.
I find it interesting that so many state AG’s and Gubners are butting heads! 10-20 more states and then the party really starts!
Not to mention "the Swimmer's" in-law as Gubner!
a consitutional convention at this time is a bad bad idea. all kinds of socialistic crap would get stuck in there
As someone already posted, not a chance. I wish, though.
Arguing with the moonbats is like trying to herd cats. It might be amusing, but it is futile.
You are counting all the ones that have passed or are in the process of trying to pass state sovereignty resolutions?
This is more than the staes that joined the Confederacy in 1861!
“We have a Dem AG in Arizona. The Governor and State Legislature bypassed him.”
Wisconsin is just the opposite. Our AG is a Republican; our ‘Rat Governor (who isn’t running again and USED to be our Attorney General) told him to STFU.
Our WI AG is taking it straight to our legislature from a States Rights angle.
Not sure if it’ll gain traction, and of course Wisconsin only has lefty papers, so y’all won’t be hearing much about it...but things are cookin’ behind the scenes. :)
Georgia has the same situation. So the Governor has appointed a Special AG to carry out the suit.
More interesting still, the AG(D) is running for governor this fall and members of the General Assembly have signed a resolution for Articles of Impeachment against the AG. The way the State Constitution is written the AG does not have the descression to ignore an order from the Governor.
Nineteen is a good start; where are the other 31?
The AZ primary is August 24. I hope no one challenges the Rat AG because he will be sooooo easy to beat for supporting obozocare.
I hope they save us. NY will never do it so I just hope the states with brains will save our republic.
Don’t you mean the other 38? ;-)
That happened here in AZ, the Dem hack AG hem-hawed around and finally refused to sue, so the Pubbie Guv axed the Pub controlled legislature for permission to sue herself, and they approved. That is why AZ is on board with this lawsuit.
And now the hack Dem AG Goddard has announced that he is running for Governor (not a surprise, was expected). I sure hope this is used against him in the campaign. He has already lost twice running for guv. His Daddy was governor of AZ once, many moons ago, so he lusts for the 9th Floor office.
Even if all 57 states wanted out, the ‘Rats would stick to their message that this is what Americans want. They’re greedy liars and enablers.
How can they ignore a ballot vote?
