For years states have thumbed their nose at our federal government, and the Constitution. They claim "state's rights." Note that I used singular. They claim individuality as opposed to union or collective. They claim their power comes from the Bill of Rights, specifically the final Amendment:
Amendment X
POWERS RETAINED BY THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
They miss the point that if the federal government has dealt with and controlled something the state cannot go against the law.
Legalizing drugs, ignoring immigration laws, ignoring select crimes, etc.. Have we finally reached the tipping point where law and order return to power? Have we finally reached the tipping point where an administration will follow the intent of the Constitution and enforce it? Are the protesters today, the ones who worship Pres. Lincoln for his humanitarian freeing of slaves, ready for a Pres. Lincoln like action. An action that is more concerned with preserving the Union and the Supreme Law of the Land over popularity.
Be warned that if it goes as far as it has in past history, I will not fight under any flag other than our national banner. We may be considered rebels fitting of the Confederate flag, because we stand against the popular liberal ideals. But, we rebels are standing for the principles and foundations of the United States and its constitution. For this reason, they can find their banner, but I will stand under mine.
