Uh oooooooooooh, looks like some girlfriends are about to tell Barry whose the real Head Biaytches In Charge are. (via Trying To Grok on HumanEvents.com).  Eleven states have declared sovereignty over President Obama’s recent actions.

In the first five weeks of his presidency, Barack Obama has acted so rashly that at least 11 states have decided that his brand of “hope” equates to an intolerable expansion of the federal government’s authority over the states. These states — “Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California…Georgia,” South Carolina, and Texas — “have all introduced bills and resolutions” reminding Obama that the 10th Amendment protects the rights of the states, which are the rights of the people, by limiting the power of the federal government. These resolutions call on Obama to “cease and desist” from his reckless government expansion and also indicate that federal laws and regulations implemented in violation of the 10th Amendment can be nullified by the states.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum! Somebodies went and dropped the gauntlet.  R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me! R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Take care TCB! Sock it to me,  Sock it to me, Sock it to me, Sock it to me, Sock it to me…Woooah!

But before you go assuming this is just wild, cowboy governorship talk, ummm, check it -  Some states are doing this because of the out of control spending within the last 30 days, others because the violation of free speech with the upcoming Fairness Doctrine proposal, and even others because of infringement on state laws regarding abortion and gun rights.

This time around, in 2009, appeals to the 10th Amendment are not based on tariffs but on unfettered government expansion in Obama’s “stimulus bill,” federal mandates on abortion that violate state laws, and infringements on the 1st and 2nd Amendments, among other things.

At the end of the day the framework of this country was to have more control with the states then at the federal level. That way citizens have a choice and not just one rigid administration to fall under. If you don’t like the laws in one state, you can then choose to move to another that are more suitable with your views. And it keeps a checks and balances so that certain states are not unfairly treated over others at the federal level. It also protect States from having the Federal govt. force them to impose legislation that directly contradicts current state laws. For instance, State governments have the constitutional choice on whether or not they want to accept stimulus money. If the citizens of that State don’t want it, because permanent changes in laws that are attached to that money, then the State’s govt. has the obligation to protect the wishes of the citizens they represent. That is the beauty of the 10th amendment. 

People talk about not liking an imperialistic executive branch, well, the same applies to how the overall federal level has been conducting itself. The last couple of decades the entire federal govt. has grown more and more unrespectful of the States’ CONSTITUTIONAL right to govern themselves and overstepping its boundaries as a federal regulator. Glad some people finally got the cojones to stand up to Congress and the White House.
