On June 23, 2009, Tennessee House Joint Resolution 108, the State Sovereignty Resolution, was signed by Governor Phil Bredesen. The Resolution created a committee which has as its charge to:

  • Communicate the resolution to the legislatures of the several states,
  • Assure them that this State continues in the same esteem of their friendship,
  • Call for a joint working group between the states to enumerate the abuses of authority by the federal government, and
  • Seek repeal of the assumption of powers and the imposed mandates.

According to a report this week in the Commercial Appeal, the committee approved the letter, and it “will be mailed soon from the Tennessee legislature to all 49 other state legislatures declaring the federal government is abusing its constitutional authority.”

“The ultimate goal of this effort is hopefully to turn back the tide here. We’re heading headlong into nationalism,” said Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mt. Juliet, chairman of the committee.

Well-said, Rep Lynn!

I would prefer a bunch of "corrupt legislators" that are at least accountable to the people and limited in their domain of power(only over the state) then a signal corrupt unelected 9 man panel of dictators.
Dictators with the arbitrary power to rewrite OUR Constitution to such an extruder extent as to force upon all the people the value of the "right to abortion" above the "right to life".
This is not republicanism, this is not constitutional law, this is not government by the consent of the governed! This is an judicial oligarchy, this is tyranny, and 40+ million of our countrymen have perhaps lost their lives because of it.

Maybe it's just the way I was raised to value the natural rights of men above the blind unchecked power of centralized government monopolies. But it seems were better off when we can vote with out feet as well as our stronger ballots then we cannot vote at all, such as for the dictates of the U.S. Supreme court.
