Texas State Rep. Steve Toth (R-TX), with the apparent support of at least one of Texas’ most powerful politicians, will introduce unconstitutional legislation subjecting federal law enforcement officers to arrest and prosecution if they enforce new gun safety laws in the Lone Star State:

<snip>


Article VI, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.


Interesting -- Texas State Rep. Steve Toth (R-TX), wants to protect his view of the Constitution of the United States by introducing legislation to "undermine" the Constitution of the United States. Republicans aren't the protectors of the constitution they pretend to be.

if they succeed from the Union first then it's OK.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified as part of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791. It is the key amendment reinforcing the idea of federalism. In other words, that unless the Constitution specifically gave a power to the federal government or denied it to the states, then it was reserved for the states

Treaties that conflict with our Constitutional rights will not be ratified. Treaties by Executive Order will be unconstitutional.

Fuck Obama, Hillary and the United Nations!

What if the next POTUS issued an Executive Order to have you drawn and quartered at dawn?

Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

Supremacy., right?


THINK - then start threads.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18, AKA - Necessary and Proper Clause, AKA - Coefficient or Elastic Clause:
The Congress shall have Power To ...make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.



I'm far from being a constitutional lawyer, but in my layman's view, the Feds would override the 10th Amendment with the Supremacy Clause of Article 6 Clause 2 via the Necessary and Proper Clause in Article I, Section 8, Clause 18



Necessary and Proper Clause
At the Constitutional Convention, the Committee of Detail took the Convention's resolutions on national legislative authority and particularized them into a series of enumerated powers. This originated the principle of enumerated powers, under which federal law can govern only as to matters within the terms of some power-granting clause of the Constitution. By including the Necessary and Proper Clause, the Framers set the criterion for laws that, even if they are not within the terms of other grants, serve to make other federal powers effective.

Steve Toth, Wayne Christian, Louis Gohmert and the other ultra right anti American legislators from Texas are the worst dupes and running dogs of those who hate America.

Once again the actual authority to pass the law must exist in the Constitution or this clause does not apply either.

The states that have legalized pot when it is illegal under federal law are those Constitutional?

Congratulations, you just proved once again that you're completely ignorant.

if the federal laws are not constitutional the states can take that up in its proper place - the courts.

however, they do not have the right to 'ignore' anything.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

The states that have legalized pot when it is illegal under federal law are those Constitutional?

Depends on whether or not the Fed legally has the right to effect IN STATE commerce. As long as the pot is home grown the Fed has no authority. If any of the pot is out of State that is Interstate Commerce and the Feds have the authority.

However until someone tests it at the Supreme Court. The fed claims they control all drugs everywhere no matter of Commerce.

 

[ogibillm]

The states that have legalized pot when it is illegal under federal law are those Constitutional?

no. just because something is illegal by federal law does not mean that it needs to be illegal under state law.

in those states state and local officials won't be making any marijuana arrests. the feds are a different matter.

 

[Oldguy]

These simpletons really don't know their history. Nullification was settled by the Civil War. So was a state's right to secede.

But, they hope you don't know that. And, in fact, most Nutter's don't.

Actually they do have the right to honor their laws until such time as a Court says otherwise. You see the fed would have to take them to Court over it, the State has no compelling interest in starting a Court case, as they believe their law is legal and appropriate.
