>> MSNBC: Their state would be a place where officials can ignore U.S. laws, force FBI agents to get a sheriff’s OK before arresting anyone, ban abortions, limit sex education in schools and create armed citizen militias.

That’s a problem?

“Their state would be a place where officials can ignore U.S. laws, force FBI agents to get a sheriff’s OK before arresting anyone, ban abortions, limit sex education in schools and create armed citizen militias.”

And this is a problem because—why, again?

[americanophile]

I really don’t see the nullification theory going anywhere...the supremacy of federal law was pretty much settled in 1865.

Amazing that Schweitzer is a Dem..

Just bring back the "Montanabahn". That was an awesome idea that would make me want to head up there, fast car in tow.

liberal states disregard federal law constantly and there are no complaints.

the most common being the reefer madness in california and the homosexual marriage farce.

"Their state would be a place where officials can ignore U.S. laws, force FBI agents to get a sheriff's OK before arresting anyone, ban abortions, limit sex education in schools and create armed citizen militias."

I was writing a response to each point. But there is really only one point. MSNBC wants to centralize all power in the Federal Government. Anything that counteracts that is suspect to the folks at MSNBC.

I just have to make one comment, 'armed citizen militias', ah isn't that what the state-run media told us was the National Guard. States already have an organized armed citizen militia. I guess these laws are to revive the unorganized citizen militias. This only makes sense to me.

Montana is not a place where the legislature is taken very seriously. Most folks just want the government to leave them alone although that has been changing in the last 20 years or so with all the out of staters moving in.
I don't think most of the proposed bills will pass and if they do they will be vetoed..

[ScottinVA]

Wow... Montana stands as a shining bastion of hope, if all this is actually true.

And here’s another thing:

NOTHING in the US Constitution gives the Federal government the right to OWN land in a State. This is an encroachment on the sovereignty of each State. At best the Federal government ought to be required to LEASE State property on an ANNUAL basis

What do people think about this idea?

“Backers want to turn state into place where officials can ignore U.S. laws “

So what? Those laws are unconstitutional.

""We are the United States of America," said Schweitzer. "This talk of nullifying is pretty toxic talk. That led to the Civil War." "

The fact they conveniently leave out is, none of the states had even thought of or mentioned nullification or secession until we got the current tyrant for president along with his flying monkeys in the DNC and MSM.

Is Schweitzer threatening Montana with "civil war"? Excuse me, the war of Northern progressive oppression?

[blueunicorn6]

Montana isn’t as conservative as you might think. There’s a letter to the editor in today’s newspaper advocating socialism. The legislature can pass anything, but it will immediately be challenged in the state supreme court where all seven liberal supreme court justices will strike it down. The MT Democrat mantra - “Run as a conservative...vote as a liberal...and let the press cover for you.”

Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer

Montana elected a scumbag? Montana??
I didn't know they had big enough parasite nests ("cities") in Montana to elect a scumbag to a statewide office.
