DieHardBrownsFan Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Arizona Passes Two Huge Bills Aimed at Stopping the Obama Agenda by Top Right News on March 15, 2015 in Arizona, Obama, Politics 4.6k Share on Facebook Share on Twitter E-mail Reddit by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News Arizona just showed the weak knees in Congress how to stand up to Obama’s tyranny. House Bill 2368, introduced by Republican Representative Bob Thorpe of Flagstaff, Arizona, was just passed by the Arizona House. The bill’s goal is to keep the state of Arizona from funding any executive orders issued by President Obama, or policy directives issued by the Department of Justice. That’s the way you do it! From Opposing Views: According to the Arizona State Legislature website, the bill includes the following provisions: “1. Prohibits 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. 2. 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.” If the bill becomes a law, Arizona would essentially be independent of federal laws. Can’t wait for a White House that has violated nearly every word of Federal immigration law, pretended the Second Amendment didn’t exist, and made a mockery the Constitutional mandate to secure the borders– which has devastated states like Arizona and Texas — to even try and criticize the Grand Canyon State for daring to stand up to Federal tyranny. Way to go, Arizona! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 So what happens if a Rep. wins the white house? And he passes an exec. order that Arizona likes? I guess it depends on whether or not it's constitutional right? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 An executive order can be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme court, or Congress has the power to overturn an executive order by passing legislation in conflict with it. So all the states will not fund it once that happens, but untill that happens, what will Arizona do? Does Arizona now have the power to rule what is constitutional to them?

Browns149 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 If it is from an Executive order, yes. So if the Supreme Court rules an order is constitutional Arizona can just ignore the court and do what they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as of now a Federal Judge has said he believes it to be unconstitutional. So you're speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I don't see a problem. The law just says that Arizona will follow federal laws when they are voted in by Congress and ruled constitutional. It cuts down on whacky bullshit in executive orders having a negative effect on their state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts down on whacky bullshit in executive orders having a negative effect on their state. So they don't have to follow ANY executive orders, becauase they are NOT voted on by Congress? Or do they get to pick and choose which executive orders they follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the court will decide.Simmer down. (and yes, they do, and the rulings can be over turned as well. You didn't know that?) WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
