Earlier this week Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a merits brief on behalf of a majority coalition of states arguing against President Obama’s illegal immigration executive actions. Texas is now joined in lawsuit against the Obama administration by Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. That means a majority of our nation, 26 states thus far, are standing in defiance of what they argue (and we agree) is the illegal and unconstitutional actions taken by the Obama administration on illegal immigration.

I only had a high school education in American history and government. But even so I do have an opinion about the subject. My opinion is that the Union was to give a central government certain powers --more than it had had after the revolution. But outside of what powers it was given by the states, the states retained. That was I thought the most simple and obvious way to read the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteDepending on when you went to school, your HS education may have been superior than a college grad today.
DeleteNo. This was a Union of States which restricted the powers of the central (federal) government. That is why states still have two senators each and not proportional representation in the senate, along with other matters. It is also THE reason for the civil war - Federal power versus state power.
DeleteI wish Governor Braindead would get off his duff and add Iowa to the list.
