Arizona Senate approves states’ rights measures

Carrying on its defiant stance, Arizona senators on Thursday approved bills that push back against the federal health care overhaul and seek to wrestle control over commerce that takes place solely within state boundaries.
 
The bills are among a slew of measures that backers say shows the state’s frustration with federal overreaching.
 
But critics called the measures unworkable, unenforceable and pre-empted by federal law, and said the courts already have ruled that the federal government can regulate areas that may not, on their face, deal with products that cross state boundaries.

Another finger in the eye of the man that would bring us together.
Remember, four boxes keep us free:
The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

The critics are relying upon the fact that either a) Duh Wun will force federal compliance and b) the state is powerless to withstand federal tyranny.  I'd like to see the former try it and the latter to prove the former dead wrong!

I want to see more states pushing back in like fashion!

  • By a vote of 21-8, the Senate approved SB1178, which declares that all goods that are made, grown, or manufactured in Arizona and don’t cross state lines are not subject to Congressional authority to regulate commerce among states.  :o :o
     
  • The Senate also passed SB1214, which will enter Arizona into a compact with other states that have also enacted laws saying residents can’t be penalized for participating, or not, in any health care plan. :D


What sets SB1178, the intrastate commerce measure, apart is it goes after public employees who enforce federal regulations here in violation of its provisions. If the bill becomes law, federal agents will face a Class 6 felony and a fine that may not exceed $2,000, while state employees will face a Class 1 misdemeanor, and a fine of up $500. ;D ;D ;D
