The Supreme Court has the Ten Commandments on the wall behind the 'justices'. If i remember correctly it's engraved in marble . Do the socialist want to go in and take it down ?

Good for Wyoming. With more and more tyrannical positions being assumed by the Obama administration, states will be passing legislation in direct opposition to federal mandates. Witness the laws being passed in states today that citizens of those states cannot be compelled by the feds to have health insurance. Unlike Alabama, in which the feds sent in the national guard to enforce federal law, I would think that the national guard would probably defy federal orders to "enforce" federal law against citizens of thier own state. Quite to the contrary, particularly in Montanna, I would presume that the national guard would be on the side of the state. I really do not think that Barry would be crazy enough to send in troops against his own citizens, as that may precipitate a military coup against him. We live in interesting times. How much longer is it until 2012? It cannot come too soon when we have a lunatic in the White House.

It's not about "fear of the federal government." It's about the federal government usurping states' rights, and the states standing up to them.

The U.S. federal government was never supposed to be the monster it has become. The states were and are supposed to have most of the governing power, and the feds are supposed to be there to protect the union and facilitate commerce between the states. It's that - interstate commerce - that has been wildly exploited by the feds to force states to bend to their will.

Federal gun laws are "authorized" because of the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. They have the right to regulate the sale of goods between the states, and every federal gun law is based on that premise. That's why states like Wyoming and Montana can create these laws - if the guns are created in and stay in the state, then federal laws based on interstate commerce do not apply. AFAIK, none of these new laws have been tested, so we don't know how they'll stand up, but the premise is sound. It all depends on how well written they are.

It appears the pro-federal government folks are in disbelief, thinking that WY won't assert it's rights. No worries, others will follow.

It's about time that people started recognizing that each state is an independent entity, and that the federal government's role is not to usurp their authority on any little thing they want.
somewhere around 30 states are either passing or considering nullifiction of healthercare.
