Two and Counting? NDAA Nullification Passes in Arizona (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/04/two-and-counting-ndaa-nullification-passes-in-arizona/)
It now goes to Jan Brewer for her to...veto.
But one major obstacle remains: Gov. Brewer’s veto pen. The governor recently shot down a sheriffs first bill, and sources in Arizona tell the Tenth Amendment Center she may well veto SB1182. While Brewer talks the talk when it comes to state sovereignty and forged a reputation as tough gal when she wagged her finger in Pres. Obama’s face, her actions don’t always measure up to her image. Brewer remains firmly entrenched in the Arizona Republican establishment, where Sen. John McCain wields tremendous influence in the state party. He will undoubtedly oppose any efforts in his home state to block his pet legislation. Keep in mind, McCain was a chief proponent of the NDAA.
In related news, the "lefty" commenters in our local paper (http://azdailysun.com/news/local/state-and-regional/lawmakers-push-bills-superseding-fed-laws/article_9b043884-cf76-51dd-990f-11d48347b817.html?mode=story) don't mind the nullification of our most basic civil liberties when it's done by a POTUS in a blue jersey.
