Mississippi - 10th Amendment Resolution Introduced (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/01/10th-amendment-resolution-introduced-in-mississippi/)


Tenth Amendment Center (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/)
January 30th, 2011


Introduced by Mississippi State Representatives Moss, Sullivan and Ward is House Concurrent Resolution 10 (HC0010 (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2011/pdf/history/HC/HC0010.xml)), “reinforcing the fundamental principle and authority of state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States…”

If passed, the resolution would also make the position of the legislature as follows:



That the State of Mississippi hereby reinforces the fundamental principles and authority of state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States and discourage the federal government, as our agent, from imposing certain restrictive mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.


While non-binding, introduction of such resolutions in dozens of states around the country have brought the principles of the 10th Amendment to the public discussion. Passage, which can often be easier for a non-binding statement, has also made fertile ground for follow-up legislation, “with teeth.”

State vs. Federal: The Nullification Movement (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/constitution/2957-state-vs-federal-the-nullification-movement)

Because the Supreme Court has for many years interpreted the Constitution in a manner to further empower the federal government, states are moving to take power back from the feds through a growing and vibrant nullification movement. By Patrick Krey

Nullification in a Nutshell (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/history/american/2971-nullification-in-a-nutshell)

The modern-day nullification movement has as its genesis the principle of federalism and the writings of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, in particularly the famous Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, supporting the right of states to nullify unconstitutional federal usurpations. By Patrick Krey

Waste of time, and can potentially even do damage by tricking people into thinking that some legislators are on our side, when in fact they are doing nothing other than simply signing on to a toothless and fairly meaningless resolution.

It raises awareness and it opens the door for people to learn about Nullification and the Constitution.

It also puts legislator on record as being on your side when in fact most of them really aren't. It clouds the issue and makes it harder to tell which legislators are genuine and which one's aren't.

Yeah so was Ron Paul's HR1207. It was toothless (even Paul said that it would get a veto from the president even if it passed both houses) and clouded the issues by putting legislators as on the record for auditing the fed when in fact they really aren't. Plus the weaker bill passed in it's stead made many believe that the mission was accomplished when it really wasn't.

1207 had different goals. Specifically raising awareness about the issue and fund raising for the CFL.

FrankRep - the NC 10th Amendment Ctr is getting very interested in my legislative agenda. Anyway you can help me by writing articles for them? (or anybody else who wants to they can come through you with the appropriate byline crediting the author)

The problem I have with these 10th amendment resolutions is they don't have any legal significance. We need nullification laws instead like Gunny has filed
