Republicans want to allow states to reject federal laws

[ErikJ]

Republican senators proposed a constitutional amendment Thursday that would allow states to reject federal laws, such as ObamaCare.

Sens. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) introduced S.J.Res. 34, which would allow states to repeal federal laws and regulations if ratified by the two-thirds of state legislatures across the country.

“Telling policy makers that they’ve crossed the line and are trampling on their rights as self-governing entities, often falls on deaf ears,” Enzi said Friday. “When you look at the policies coming out of Washington, the burden of enacting and complying with what Congress or some agency dictates falls on the states.”
If 34 states opposed a federal law or regulation, the law would then be considered repealed.

The senators said the bill would give states more rights and a “vital check against an expanding federal government.”

1. The Republican Party went off the rails, and never looked back...

2. Don't democrats want states to not enforce certain federal laws

Marajuana is illegal federally, but some states are ignoring that. You can argue that rejecting the ACA is stupid, but both sides have certain federal laws they don't want to see enforced.

3. Except when it comes to pot busts. Passed that House bill this week. Typical complete hypocrisy.

4. Interesting, since the other bill that made the news this week was to allow them to sue the Presiden

because he is letting the states make their own laws on marijuana use. Make up your darn minds, states rights or not states rights.

5. Point, set and match.

They have been doing it since the nineties. Now they just want to legitimize the crooked things they have been doing.

And I know why. It's all about the Fourteenth Amendment, folks. They can't legitimize their actions if they have someone always standing in the way to challenge them on due process and equal protection under the law.

Now you know why they need conservatives on the Supreme Court.
