It's this very concept of states as independent free states that started the War of Northern Aggression when South Carolina withdrew from the oppressive control of the United States in 1861. Lincoln said "no way, you joined the Union and can never leave". Despite all of the recent hype, Lincoln was one of the worst presidents in regards to a free nation.

I am sure that the feds have a good laugh every time that one of these bills are presented or passed. They would consider any issue regarding federal laws as legal and binding. And then invade your state, install their own government, and then open the door for the carpetbaggers.

It's just a political jesture on the part of the state and none of them have the real guts to follow through with this concept.

Never forget that the winners write the history of their conflict.
