Dunno why I didn't hear about these a month ago, but I would be very pleased to see these make it into law. Moving to Montana would definitely be in my future then.A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: "AN ACT PROHIBITING INFRINGEMENT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO NULLIFICATION OF ANY FEDERAL STATUTE, MANDATE, OR EXECUTIVE ORDER CONSIDERED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY THE STATE; ENACTING THE MONTANA NULLIFICATION REAFFIRMATION ACT; AND PROVIDING A RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY DATE."
So what? Let us all know when one is applied in a meaningful way and successfully blocks a federal prosecution in federal court.armoredman said:Montana, Arizona, Wyoming, I forget how many states passed FFA acts, 5 or 6, maybe....
And if not expressly struck down in federal court, they will just wind up in that junk yard of old, meaningless laws that are the grist of humorous columns in Sunday newspapers after a slow new week.henschman said:You are missing the whole point of nullification if you think that the state legislature is worried about whether these laws will be upheld in federal court....
Funny that so many states are passing laws to nullify federal laws, then, must be a LOT of reaallly stupid people out there, eh?
does this mean that someone in montana could make a SBR or AOW legally?
This law would prohibit that.
These "laws" carry no more legal weight than my declaration of being the first King and sovereign ruler of Illinois. Great for comedic purposes, but they have zero chance of being upheld in court.
we'll let the courts hash it out, where the real experts are.
