Arizona About To Nullify Obama?

by JASmius



Is the long fantasized Tenth Amendment war finally about to break out for real?

In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "Mnnnyeeah, could be":

House Bill 2368, introduced by Republican Representative Bob Thorpe of Flagstaff, Arizona, was passed this Wednesday by the Arizona House. House Bill 2368 seeks to bar the state of Arizona from funding any executive orders issued by President Obama, or policy directives issued by the Department of Justice.

According to the Arizona State Legislature website, the bill includes the following provisions: “1. Prohibits this state or any of its political subdivisions from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer or cooperate with an executive order issued by the President of the U.S. that has not been affirmed by a vote of Congress and signed into law as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.

"2. Prohibits this state or any of its political subdivisions from using any personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer or cooperate with a policy directive issued by the U.S. DOJ to law enforcement agencies in this state that has not been affirmed by a vote of Congress and signed into law as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.”

More likely is that HB2368 will die in the Arizona State senate, or be vetoed by Republican Governor Doug Ducey.  After all, Arizona Pachyderms aren't any more eager to be smeared as "racists" than the rest of the GOP.  But if nullification does make it into Arizona State law?  Might adjoining States follow their example?  Might it even sweep all the "red" States?  And in that scenario, what might the Obama Regime's reaction be?

In the immortal words of Artie Johnson.....
