It would seem that a lovely trend is starting to develop. More and more states are lining up to re-discover the 10th Amendment. You know, the one they don't teach you about in school and the one the ACLU wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Well, the one other than the 2nd Amendment that falls into that category.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Roughly translated, that means about three quarters of Fed.gov's social engineering programs and mandates foisted upon the States are unconstitutional.
It would seem that lately, as Fed.gov and its lust for money and power spirals out of control, a few States are rediscovering the 10th Amendment. I'm pleased to say Montana helped to lead the way with Governor Brian Schweitzer basically telling Obergruppenfuhrer Chertov to kiss his butt on Real ID. There were also strong rumblings from the governor and senators about a possible negative decision in Heller rendering Montana's "contract" with Fed.gov null and void because our own State Constitution makes the right to keep and bear arms an individual right. Now there's a bill, and only a bill at this stage, exempting firearms made in Montana from odious federal regulation.
Joining in the fun now are the states of New Hampshire, Arizona, Oklahoma, Washington, and Missouri. Imagine that. States declaring their sovereignty! Following the United States Constitution. What a concept!
Moving from the encouraging to the hilarious category, House Speaker Nancy "Dumber than Dirt" Pelosi, showing her true colors and extremely low IQ, explains that without immediately passing the new bloated pork stimulus bill, "500,000,000 Americans will lose their jobs!" Check the census and get back to us on that one, Nancy.
