Thursday briefing... Peraiz Haysus!
Author: Raine    Date: 04/03/2013 13:06:47

You know, North Carolina has some very serious problems and I think they found the answer!

The religion bill comes as some Republican-led states seek to separate themselves from the federal government, primarily on the issues of guns and Obamacare. This includes a proposal in Mississippi to establish a state board with the power to nullify federal laws.

(snip) The bill says the First Amendment only applies to the federal government and does not stop state governments, local governments and school districts from adopting measures that defy the Constitution. The legislation also says that the Tenth Amendment, which says powers not reserved for the federal government belong to the states, prohibits court rulings that would seek to apply the First Amendment to state and local officials.

The bill reads:

SECTION 1. The North Carolina General Assembly asserts that the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

SECTION 2. The North Carolina General Assembly does not recognize federal court rulings which prohibit and otherwise regulate the State of North Carolina, its public schools, or any political subdivisions of the State from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.


These rascally state representatives' seem to have forgotten something called the 14th Amendment, particularly Section one:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

They are so precious! Bless their hearts! What a quaint antebellum notion about nullification. This was settled by the Civil War. They lost.

Comment by Mondobubba on 04/03/2013 13:41:40
Nullifciation.
Supreme Court has said this isn't a valid legal theory.

Nullifcation Crisis. South Carolina lost. This was 30 years before the Civil War.


These ass hats in North Carolina sound like Neo-Confederate morons. What do I mean sound, with idiot ideas like this they are in fact, by their actions Neo-Confederates.

Think the Catholic School I pass on Old Keene Mill is out this week, not sure about the others. I'm thinking that kid might be from the Liberty college area.

The murder rate in Drama City skyrocketed in the mid to late 80s when crack came to town, the hand gun ban was enacted long before the murder rate went buck wild.

Comment by Mondobubba on 04/03/2013 14:04:04
This murder rate jumped in DC seems to be a meme. PolitiFact has something to say about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOBR!!!



I find it almost amusing that the GOP in many states believes in recycling -- namely recycling rejected political arguments that have been struck down by courts and by the Civil War. These actions seem to be desperation measures. Perhaps they sense that the nation is changing and that their views will soon be discarded by the majority of the population.

From an email of the alderman in that area:
On Saturday evening, large groups of teenagers converged on the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Michigan Avenue. According to the Police Department, there were approximately 400 youth in the crowd, with roughly 50 police officers originally detailed to the area. This large crowd gathering was orchestrated via social media (Facebook and Twitter) messaging, predominantly by teenagers and some individuals in their early 20's.

As the Police Department witnessed the crowd growing and becoming increasingly volatile, the Commander of the 18th District redeployed additional police resources from other areas of the District to Michigan Avenue. There was a substantial surge in police presence at this location when fighting finally broke out between different groups of teens in the larger crowd.

The Police Department reported that there were no robberies during the incident, and the multiple battery charges and arrests were fights that broke out between rival groups of teenagers in the large crowd that assembled at this location. The Police reported a few pedestrians received minor injuries when the youth were fleeing the Police and bumped into them on the sidewalk - but no pedestrians were targeted by the crowd.

Thanks to the swift response from the Chicago Police Department, a total of 29 arrests were made downtown on Saturday evening.

Good day, folks. And Happy Birthday to BobR since I also posted on his facebook wall.

This all begs the question, is the Constitution a treaty or a contract? Because such things can be broken...

Mondo, if that crazy lady you keep referring to wants to secede, I may help you burn the town this time. But I still think we should let them go.

we can't let NC go - Vel an Auntie A live there, and there's Ashville and great beaches and a few other things - may be we could annex those areas.

40 Facts about cell phones.

The DynaTAC's weight was reduced to 794g before it came to market. It was still heavy enough to beat someone to death with, although this fact was never used as a selling point.
