Federal Laws Null and Void??

[exoduster18]

All,

I was just reading Fark when I came across this article about a bill that the New Hampshire state legislature is looking at passing.

Here is the link with the article pasted below: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/82250

New Hampshire Resolution Immediately Voids Several Federal Laws, Threatens Counterstrike Against Federal “Breach Of Peace”
Posted February 9th, 2009 by Michael Nystrom

The New Hampshire state legislature took an unbelievably bold step Monday by introducing a resolution to declare certain actions by the federal government to completely totally void and warning that certain future acts will be viewed as a “breach of peace” with the states themselves that risks “nullifying the Constitution.”

This act by New Hampshire is a clear warning to the federal government that they could face being stripped of their power by the States (presumably through civil war!

The remarkable document outlines with perfect clarity, some basics long forgotten. For instance, it reminds Congress “That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever;. . . . . therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force;”

Federal gun crime laws? Void. Federal drug crime laws? Void. The gazzillion other federal criminal laws that deal with anything other than the specific enumerated crimes? ALL VOID.

Read the whole thing.

Unfortunately, The Manchester Union Leader has not picked up this story, so hardly anyone in NH has even heard of this bill and thus can't call their state reps and senators to support it!

You know what to do.

This is simply amazing as this is has amazing implications.....and while I do not think that other states are going to back this, this is just awesome that a state has the balls to step up and say something like this.

New Hampshire is now on my list of places to live when I retire.
Please keep us posted on the progress of this.
Thank you!!

Great! Does it have a chance of passing?

If this belongs anywhere at THR it belongs in Legal, not General.

this assumes reps actually represent the people.


i hope this passes. it would be the frist step in the right direction in quite some time

I believe Arizona and Oklahoma did or attempted to do something very similar. Basically, the resolutions that did or did not pass (don't know which) basically said, "Hey, Fedzilla, try anything really radical (ie, suspend the Constitution, confiscate firearms, etc) and we'll divorce you!"

 

[rshackleford]

i think montana has one in the works too.

 

[Hoppy590]

some one actually presented it in MA as well though i dont think it will go far

Not surprised. sounds like a great start, hope it passes.

That's only because there's no "Comedy" section here.

I don't know if this is the 'secessionist' bill the Lightninstrike linked to, but I remember that either that one, or the Montana one was up for its vote on Thursday, February 5th. I would think we'd all be shouting about it had it gone right, but I haven't heard one way or the other.

Does anyone know which and how that vote ended up?

Regardless of what the states do, it's up to SCOTUS to actually decide on the constitutionality.

It's possible, of course, that if enough states pass such resolutions and their elected people in Congress support the resolutions, Congressional concurrence about some laws could result in change.

Don't bet the farm on it, though.

The American people have the last word on what’s constitutional and what’s not.

Seven States demand Sovereignty

This from gunlaws.com
http://www.gunlaws.com/Page9Folder/PageNine-59.htm

Seven states have had it and are calling on the fed to follow the law set forth in the Constitution.

Would be great to see this list grow to 45 or so since some of the state do not believe in the Constitution.:banghead:

2- State Sovereignty Bills

The mainstream media told you:

Nothing.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

In a dramatic break from the status quo, seven states of the Union have officially declared their intention to enforce the Constitution against the central government, and reestablish sovereignty and federalism which has been curtailed by federal forces and Congress:

The seven are ARIZONA, New Hampshire, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Washington and Oklahoma

 

[Dokkalfar]

well its nice to see more states joining this list. rather disappointing texas is not one of them though

 

[MT GUNNY]

Is there a name for this stuff? So I can talk to My Reps about Doing the Same thing.

 

[Dokkalfar]

not specifically, aside from the bill numbers in the respective states. maybe ask your reps about these specific bills and whether they are doing somthing similar or such

 

[Ron James]

I think this type acton was tried before, oh yes, they called it the Civil war.:banghead:
