REBELLION: This State Just Voted to Ignore ALL Obama’s Executive Orders
Barack Obama is not afraid to wield executive power to accomplish his agenda. Whether he is ordering immigration officials to ignore deportation laws or mandating certain crimes not be prosecuted, Obama loves to run America by his own rules.But one state just came up with a surprising plan to stop Obama’s
end-run around democracy. This state’s move could prove to be first
among many states rejecting Obama’s overreaching.
This week, Arizona passed two bills to stop Obama dead in his tracks.
The first bill, Arizona House Bill 2368, introduced by Rep. Bob
Thorpe (R-Flagstaff), prevents the state of Arizona from funding any
executive orders issued by President Obama, or policy directives issued
by the Department of Justice.
The Arizona State Legislature website described the bill as
prohibiting “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.” (H/T OpposingViews.com)
However, the defiant bill does not stop there. It also “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.”
The legislation, if passed, would effectively make Arizona independent of federal laws.
The second bill, House Bill 2643, stops state and local governments from using state funds to enforce and implement the Affordable Care Act.
Both bills passed the Arizona House and will now move to the Senate.
We support Arizona’s opposition to Obama’s shocking power grabs and
hope the state is successful in its efforts to stop Obama’s executive
orders. Democracy will be better served.
