“”It goes to conference committee… Once the representatives from the house and senate in that committee finish with it, that becomes the final version for voting. It will return to the house and the senate, without option of amending, for up or down votes. The house Republicans and blue-dog dems will be unable to prevent it passing the house.
However, the senate can still refuse to allow it to come up for a vote through filibuster. Typically, the Senate is less responsive to “customer complaints” than the house is, so we are likely to be screwed. Of course, once it passes the Senate, Obama will sign it and it’s a done deal.
So the ONLY chance we have is to pressure members of the Senate.”"
The New Hampshire state legislature took an unbelievably bold step today 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
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.
Just to get this out in the open
