Toe Jam Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/03/arizona_senate_passes_bill_to_let_state_nullify_fe.php After being shot down earlier this week, the Arizona State Senate revived and successfully passed a bill that would create a mechanism for the state to nullify federal laws. As TPM has reported, Senate Bill 1433 would create a 12-person "Joint Legislative Committee on Nullification of Federal Laws," which would "recommend, propose and call for a vote by simple majority to nullify in its entirety a specific federal law or regulation that is outside the scope of the powers delegated by the People to the federal government in the United States Constitution." click link for more :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Arizona is a scary place. Don't they see what they are fostering. It's already manifested at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Gee, this seems like something that might've happened before in our history. Maybe AZ should ask SC where this path leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the feds are enforcing them anyway. :thumbsup:If they feds can be selective in enforcing law why can't the states? Umm...maybe because it's unconstitutional. You know this whole thing makes me sick. I mean seriously, the Right screams that they are the party of the Constitution and then they do crap like this, and surprise surprise their supporters back them up 100%. Yeah H_H and twa I'm talking about you. Don't you dare claim to support the constitution and then defend Arizona here. You want to allow Arizona to nullify Federal laws, fine. Let's kick Arizona out of the Union, they can merge with Mexico. Hey come to think of it, if they become part of Mexico that will solve their illegal immigration problem. Problem solved!

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I fully support the federal governments constitutional obligation to secure the borders. Fully. And then in the next breath you excuse Arizona for writing legislation that would allow them to nullify Federal law....:doh: BTW the United States Constitution IS Federal law, this law could allow them to nullify the Constitution.

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Desperate times.... Then do not claim to support the Constitution. I think it's entirely laughable that Arizona would pass legislation that would "nullify in its entirety a specific federal law or regulation that is outside the scope of the powers delegated by the People to the federal government in the United States Constitution" when that very United States Constitution forbids them from passing exactly this law. Fricking hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Umm...maybe because it's unconstitutional.! Naw pretty sure;) it is granted under the commerce clause,privacy rights or the 10th.

The worst part about this is that you KNOW that the Constitution forbids this and yet you ignore that. OK. You're right. I hate the Constitution. That's why I've taken multiple oaths in its defense. That's certainly got to be it. I offered my blood if necessary to ensure its continuance, but I'm dead-set in opposition to it. And let's not be making judgments about my stance on federal law when you've admitted MULTIPLE times that you want amnesty for illegals. (Or as your side likes to FAUX label them, "immigrants.") What's the solution? How would YOU ensure that the federal law prohibiting illegal immigration is enforced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
