Reply #18: Everyone should read the linked blog -- related to the "sovereignty" / "secession" movement

[D-Lee]

This linked blog reports this same resolution has been introduced in every state legislature.

So, this is a part of a right wing movement -- the tea baggers, the secessionists, and the undoing of federal law -- with a common theme. We need to watch this development.


The blog concludes:

"The resolution they sponsored is part of a radical right-wing national movement —- a similar resolution was introduced in the Georgia House but not voted on. It has been introduced in legislatures all over the nation, and has passed in both chambers in Oklahoma and one in South Dakota.

"And while the Georgia resolution is legally meaningless and was passed without debate or even knowledge of most senators, it has had an impact. It has been hailed by, among others, those fighting the conspiracy to create a single North American country, by the Confederate States Militia, by the John Birch Society, and the League of the South, which still pines for the cause of an “independent South” and believes that “Southern society is radically different from the society impressed upon it by an alien occupier.”

"You have to question the judgment of those who would have any truck whatsoever with such nonsense, and who would jeopardize the reputation of the Georgia Senate to lend aid and comfort to such radical causes and fringe groups."
