Thirteen states. A good start.

Yea, remember what happened the last time 13 States got their hair up.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government............

I just need to make sure I wind up in the right country. It’s been quiet down in Springfield so far.

We’re still waiting for word from our AG here in Illinois..........crickets chirping..........

Oh well, my wife and I wanted to some day retire a little bit away from where we are now in the SW burbs of Chicago. Maybe we’ll end up in a western or southwestern state.

Sadly, AZ is not on the list. We have a Rat AG, who’s said he won’t do it.

Well, they won’t have any choice, will they.

The marxists are like vampires, and court decisions and elections do not kill them.

The only way to stop them is to expose them for what they are and stop allowing themselves to hide behind labels like "progressive"

In the meantime we can boycott gay Frisco, since they keep Pelosi in congress:

We will never be able to defeat Pelosi, the Mafafi witch, due to the love affair between her and the gay agenda pushers/voters in Gay Frisco.

However, Gay Frisco can be brought to its financial knees.

Gay Frisco is having a severe economic meltdown due to the benefits for union thugs and illegals.

If every American Adult, who dislikes the Health Care farce pushed on us by Pelosi, boycotted San Francisco re visits, meetings and products, we can make that liberal gay hell hole a miserable place to live and try to work in.

They anticipated lawsuits in the bill:

Section 155
If any provision of this division, or any application of such provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of the provisions of this division and the application of the provision to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected.

In other words, it looks like a suit has to be filed on every part of the bill to kill it. It can't be killed as a whole.

11 plus sympathetic parts of three more: Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland.

New York City was also full of southern sympathizers, but for reasons due more to economics than politics.

There were also pockets of Union sympathisizers in the Confederate States, notably Virginia (the parts which became West Virginia), Tennessee (Knoxville area) and North Carolina (Greensboro area).

Ayup. I commend Bill McCollum because this suit is in federal court, and provides a forum to challenge a clearly unconstitutional act. And let us remember, that discovery (the seeking of information) in such a suit can be very broad indeed.

We should all write to these attorneys general giving them our support. There will be tremendous pressure on them and their families and supporters.

Good!

I don’t care how it’s killed, as long as it’s killed.

I sent him (GA AG) a note too, asking assurance he would join the fray.

When I glanced at his bio page, I figured it’s pointless. Worth one postcard at least to start somewhere.

Don’t get any hopes up. This is not only uphill, it’s a huge long shot. To think any court will find this unconstitutional, I have three words for those who hope for it: Campaign Finance Reform (even though the Supremes did a good job recently with that, but look at how long it took to undercut a bad decision). Trying to pin hopes on a court is ridiculous.

A court is likely to say that since this was voted upon by elected members of Congress, the “people” were not denied anything. They were in fact “represented” by their elected representatives.

. . .whenever the legislators endeavour to take away, and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any farther obedience, and are left to the common refuge, which God hath provided for all men, against force and violence. -- John Locke

That, in and of itself, is unconstitutional, as the Constitution applies itself equally to every citizen, regardless of provision or circumstance of the individual.

The libs have to be awfully dumb. You have a huge bunch of people who know their history, are well armed and are rallying around the idea that their present government is borderline tyrannical. So then the libs go ahead and shove something down the throats of the citizens in a tyrannical manner and believe that the citizens are just going to lump it.

They are in for a big surprise.

Presuming the Court doesn't find that provision unconstitutional, of course. ;)
