Revolution? Already? Geez, THAT didn't take long....

Saw this on TV this morning nad had to look deeper. New Hampshire (the "Live Free or Die" state) has a resolution in their State House of Representatives that appears to put President Obama's administration on notice. The resolution, House Concurrent Resolution 6 (HCR6), is described as "A RESOLUTION affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles." Representative Dan Itse, Republican from New Hampshire's 9th House district, appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to discuss HCR 6. While Mr. Itse did make a point of stating "This is not about secession" (or words to that effect), the wording is pretty straightforward. Here's an excerpt:

That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:
I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.
II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.
IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government.
V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press.
VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and
That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government;

Not much else to say. It appears that the folks from the state that gave us the wording for the 9th and 10th amendments still take the notion of states' rights pretty seriously. Thank God for them, in my not-so-humble opinion. The resolution contains verbiage that requires that, once passed, all 50 state legislatures AND the President of the US be copied - that way there are no surprises. This one bears watching.
