This strikes me as the most important legislative battle of the 2011 political year. If we can essentially codify the VA and KY Resolutions in one of the most important states in the East, on the very footsteps of DC, it would be our most significant victory yet. Anybody from Virginia know what's going on with this bill (who is going to introduce it, what is the level of support)?
Freedom for Virginians Act
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding the following section:
§ Nullification and constitutional protection
Any Act by Congress, executive order of the President, judgment or judicial order by the Judiciaries, treaty entered into by the Federal Government of the United States of America or regulation by any agent thereof which assumes a power not delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution shall constitute a breach of that Constitution.
The Commonwealth of Virginia reserves the right to determine whether any law, regulation, executive order, treaty, judgment or judicial order goes beyond the powers vested to the Federal Government of the United States of America by this Commonwealth and the states that entered into a compact defined by the U.S. Constitution.
A. Any law, regulation, treaty, executive order, judgment or judicial order that this Commonwealth deems not constitutional shall be nullified, considered moot and unenforceable within its borders by a majority vote of Virginia’s legislature, by executive order of its Governor, by declaration of its Attorney General or by a majority vote of registered voters.
B. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall prevent the Federal Government of the United States of America including its agents and assigns from the enforcement of any law, regulation, treaty, executive order, judgment or judicial order that has been nullified by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
C. Actions that shall be taken include but are not limited to preventing the seizure of assets and property, collection of taxes or fines, imprisonment or the refusal to recognize rights and privileges of the Commonwealth of Virginia, its agents, assigns, or citizens by the Federal Government of the United States of America or its agents and assigns for actions that would violate any nullified law, regulation, treaty, executive order, judgment or judicial order.
