And the states should tell the FedGov to piss up a rope, they won't send in taxes.
There are cities that should burn if Obama signs this.
Can states withold collected taxes to the feds?
I love it when Democrats do stuff like this as an election approaches. Just be sure and tell all your hunting buddies that the Dems want to penalize states that have Stand Your Ground Laws. A lot of hunters just don’t pay attention to politics, and end up voting Democrat without realizing that they’re always trying to take away their guns. Most of them would support a Stand Your Ground Law, so make sure they know about this bill.
A similar tactic was used to raise the legal drinking age.
This case has NOTHING to do with SYG.
The libs and media pulled SYG into this because they have an agenda.
The federal government does not have the Constitutional power to override any state law.
Just another kabuki dance to keep black voters on the rat plantation.
States that this law targets need to start witholding tax payments to the assholes in DC.
“Reps. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the two Democrats who are offering the legislation.”
Check this, they’ve already withdrawn their attempt at this law THIS TIME.

Not because it’s such a terrible law, but for fear of it being ruled out of order via the rules of debate.
From the link above: “The Ellison amendment would have docked federal criminal justice grants to states that have stand-your-ground laws, which allow residents to use deadly force to respond to an attack without first having to retreat.”
Sounds fair to me. No middle man needed - no middle man getting paid to expend his budget on SWAT’s war against dogs.
This is why those grants are in insidious thing. The confiscate money from the citizens of state X, then pay X’s legislators to do things adverse to the freedoms of their own constituents (and the owners of the money) just like in this case! I posted an essay on this one time. This issue doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves.
This amendment has been withdrawn by the Democrats. Story at http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/may/8/democrats-withdraw-trayvon-amendment/
We need to stop assuming that Obama, Congress and the Senate actually understand, believe in and uphold something like the 10th Amendment. When that happens, we may be better able to fully understand them.
AKA “Da Gang Banga Car Jacka Thuggin’ Fo Hoes Protection Act.”
“which would withhold some grants from states that have such laws,”
So the leftist aka progressives tax American citizens to provide government services. Then refuse to provide these services if you do not bow own to them. Perverted logic from the leftist aka progressives. No wonder they defend the perversion of homosexuality.
