WATCH: “What Does Your Federal Law Nullification Bill Do?”

Rep. Bud Hulsey (R-Kingsport) tells us his bill would let Tennessee decide not to follow “unconstitutional” laws — the 100+ employee COVID vaccine mandate was the first thing that came to his mind as an example.

1. Finally seceding after 160 years?

[inthewind21]

2. Huh

That'll go well. NOT

[Faux pas]

3. I

say go for it you raving moran

[Ocelot II]

4. Yeah, that's going to work.

Why not just secede and be done with it? Morons.

[TxGuitar]

5. Isn't Federal Supremecy in the Constitution?

Maybe if he would've tuned in when the morons in the House were reading it he'd know?

[Buckeyeblue]

6. If a state won't follow federal laws, it doesn't get federal money

Pull out federal buildings and military bases, unless they are considered necessary.

[MichMan]

8. Does that apply to states that have legalized marijuana ?

[Buckeyeblue]

9. That's a good point

I guess it very well could if you got the right/wrong administration. I think those of us in states where pot is legal understand that it could still be prosecuted at the federal level. But the federal government could take a different strategy and say if you legalize pot you don't get road or other infrastructure money. I remember when the drinking age was increased to 21, congress mandated that states adopt the federal drinking age or that state would have highway funds withheld.

13. Pulling out one of the bases in Tennessee will prove to be impossible

The biggest base in Tennessee is Fort Campbell, which is only called "Kentucky" because the post office is slightly north of the state line - most of the base is in Tennessee.

15. Interstate & U.S. Highways.

7. These yahoos take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and they've never read it.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Article VI, clause 2.

[emulatorloo]

10. Please proceed, Bud.

[kimbutgar]

11. Ok then The federal government needs to cut off funds and no longer pay social security

And Medicare benefits.

[MichMan]

12. Why? People earned those benefits regardless of which state they live in.

[Mr.Bill]

14. We already have a system

to nullify unconstitutional laws. It's called the Supreme Court. If Sheriffs, members of congress, local elected officials, etc. had the right to decde what was constitutional, we wouldn't need the Supreme Court.

16. Another escalation in the cold War against Federalism

this is the sort of crap that is included in their dreams about States Rights.

It's sad that roughly 250 years after the Federalism vs. Anti-Federalism Debate, literally after centuries of that question resting as settled, the unhappy greedy rabble push it again.

I mostly blame the billionaires pushing their toxic anti-social models of capitalism that depend upon dreams of donation-captured legislatures producing fief-like havens for wealth creation through absence of responsible federal regulations, fair fees and taxes.

17. Tennessee is magaworld

I know, I live here
