Nullify Bolton's Decision Or Secede
LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH STATEMENT

Re: Feds strike down central provisions of Arizona immigration law
Imagine that! A federal judge ruling in favor of the federal government in a case against a State! But that’s what you can expect when there is no impartial arbiter to determine matters of constitutionality.
The League of the South, the premier Southern nationalist organization, encourages the sovereign State of Arizona to either 1) nullify the decision of U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton that removed the teeth from Arizona’s immigration law, or 2) begin immediately to prepare the State for secession from a union in which the compact has been broken by the general (federal) government. Anything less will not be sufficient to protect the lives, liberty, and property of the citizens of Arizona.
The League also encourages Southern Patriots (and those elsewhere of goodwill) to give aid and comfort to the beleaguered citizens of Arizona and their elected representatives and conversely to oppose the federal government and its minions by refusing the same.
For too long the federal government has shown itself to be an organized, criminal enterprise that defines the extent of it own power and rules for the benefit of the elite. This is but the latest example. Such criminal behavior must be stopped by the citizens of the sovereign States acting in concert with each other. We have the legal and moral authority to do so; but do we have the will?
While it might seem meet and right for supporters of Arizona to make the trek to that State to provide aid and comfort, we in the League suggest you focus your efforts against the feds at home. It is more difficult to extinguish a thousand brushfires than one larger conflagration. Be bold and creative in your dissent.

Dear Friends of the South,
The following subject is a difficult one for the radical nationalist to come to terms with. There are aspects of radical nationalism that are desperately needed today in order to restore U.S. Constitutional principles. I often discuss these, but the subject of this note is also part of the picture.
There is a great and largely unconscious void and blurred confusion in the United States about . . .
1. the nature of patriotism and nationalism (what we often call “patriotism” is actually “nationalism”),
2. legitimate nationalism vs supranationalism,
3. the difference between a “citizen” and a “subject” of government,
4. the relationship of a responsible citizen to his representative government,
5. the relationship of a State government to that of the central federal government and
6. the relationship of churches, Christianity and Christians to both the State and federal governments.
These authorities, institutions and ideas have become dangerously joined and co-mingled. The result brings us to a position that has divinised (given the highest level of authority to) the government, particularly the federal level of government, and to a continuous flow of self-justification concerning nearly every turn of events about the authority, powers, actions and decisions of the U.S. central government. Government "of" the people and "by" the people has devolved to government "over" the people.
The United States is now nearly the only country in the world in which its subjects or citizens "want" to pledge their personal allegiance to their central government. While it has become a fairly common practice, even some Christians place their hands over their hearts to perform their pledge of faithfulness to their central government. This is a very recent historical phenomena. To question anything about this practice is nearly to commit immediate public political suicide.
Churches have actually excommunicated longstanding and faithful members of their congregations over their refusal to repeat the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance in their church services on dedicated July the 4th or on Memorial Day services. These are people who love their country, served in the U.S. military and would again offer their lives to keep the U.S. secure from any foreign enemy. Echoing through the halls of time it is not difficult to picture the early apostles reactions had some overly enthusiastic Roman tried to flag the Roman Eagle in a first century synagogue or church. A sense of the "Holy" is becoming increasingly secularised and obscured in western Christian churches and in their doctrines.
Until the late 19th century most people in their speech and in their writings used the term “country” when referring to their native State. The word “foreigner” was used to refer to a person from another State, and the word “stranger” was used to refer to a person from outside of the United States. And, government wasn't about “jobs”, an “education”, the “economy” or “making the world safe for democracy.” It was about establishing and preserving freedom, liberty and independence.
Most States now fly the national U.S. flag "over" their State flags flying over their capital buildings which indicates that the States are no longer free, sovereign and independent, but rather a vassal state to a higher ruling government. The States also fly the U.S. national flag in the “superior position” to their State flag in the halls of State government and in their court rooms where State laws are being administered. This also is a very recent historical phenomena, and it is a practice that no one questions.
The States since 1865 have become to the U.S. federal government more like counties are to their State governments. The States are now the underling servants of their central government rather than having their central government as their servant exercising only powers delegated to them by the sovereign States. This is important because now there is no longer a check on federal power and authority. It was the original practice and intention of the united States Founders that the governments of the States would maintain a check and control that would limit and contain the federal government from overreaching the boundaries of its delegated authority and responsibilities. This is also a relatively new practice that the Founders of the united States would have found an offense to the reasonable constitutional practices of independence, freedom and liberty.
It has also become a common practice for non-orthodox churches to fly the United States flag inside of their houses and sanctuaries of worship, and all of these churches fly it in the "superior" position with the Christian flag being flown in the "inferior" position meaning that the highest authority of that church is not God but rather the newly divinised government of the United States of America. It indicates that the church is under the authority of the central state rather than the state coming under the authority of God. Such a practice in both the near and remote past would have been seen by Christians as blasphemy against their God. They would not have had a national flag in their churches at all much less have flown it in a superior position to the symbol of the atoning sacrifice of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. Many now believe that such church denominations and pastors are no longer morally or spiritually qualified to offer a legitimate opinion on the relationship of church and state much less on how the government should operate. These churches are quiescently compliant to the authority of the centralised state.
A new book titled The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance: A Sacred Prayer to a Secular Power considers “what is a reasonable assessment” of the above commonly accepted practices in the United States of America. The book also contains a large “Appendix” that presents U.S. laws and regulations regarding the proper display and handling of a State or national flag and how ceremonies should be conducted where flags are utilised and honoured. Flag protocols have also been obscured and the handling of the flags has become less respectful during the last 50-100 years.

"And The War Came"
The Center for Civil War Research
========Dear Dr. Neff,
I cannot help but remember a speaker at a symposium pointing out that Lincoln’s statement - “...and the war came...” was, in fact, a deliberate lie. Lincoln used that phrase to obfuscate the actual causes of the war and which side began it! The war didn’t “come”; the war was the direct result of Lincoln and the Republican’s refusal to permit certain states in the Union exercising their constitutional right of secession and the actions they took to prevent that from happening.
On the other hand, the states of the South were driven to secession for economic, political, religious and even cultural reasons (yes, even but not mainly, slavery) and in at least two cases by an illegitimate demand from the federal government for troops with which to wage an unconstitutional war on sovereign states in the South.
Therefore, to use the phrase “and the war came” as the title of your conference is to validate the claim that the war was inevitable (it wasn’t) or, in the alternative, that the war was a result of unprovoked Southern actions which culminated in a justifiable Northern response in an effort to “save the Union”. In other words, the phrase is a lie which conceals and/or excuses a lie. For the actions taken by South Carolina and her sister States in the South were definitely provoked - and over a long period of time - while the response to those actions was not only legally “unprovoked” but were, in fact, illegal, immoral, inhumane and unconstitutional.
Certainly, a study of the issues leading to the war is a noble effort, but if you begin that study with a false premise by virtue of your “motto”, it will be very hard to do anything other than further validate that premise. The book North Over South is an excellent study of the efforts of many outside of Dixie to prevent the South from having any influence in the developing “American” character as the nation moved west. As well, there abound many studies regarding the vilification of the South by the North long before Sumter. The technique of demonizing your enemy or potential enemy so as to be free to make war upon him is as old as war itself.
I would hope that you reconsider your “theme”. The war didn’t “come” as some sort of natural catastrophe. It came because the adherents of the philosophy of Adams and Hamilton wanted to supplant the adherents of the philosophy of Jefferson and Madison; they succeeded and the Republic with its limited government and power residing in the states and the people gave way to an Empire with a strong central government, impotent states and an almost direct democracy (see Amendment 17 of the Constitution). A northern historian, Jay Hoar acknowledged what was wrought by the War of Secession (it wasn’t a “civil war”) when he told authors Walter Kennedy and Al Benson, “The worst fears of those Boys in Gray are now a fact of American life – a Federal government completely out of control.”
Unless you want this conference to be just another rubber stamp of what passes for “history” these days, I strongly suggest that you find another motto.

American Revolution & The Secession Of Southern States

American Revolution & The Secession Of Southern States
"........having neither been completed nor garrisoned according to the contract, either within the three years specified time, or, for that matter, by 1861, Major Anderson occupied a piece of property that the United States had not the vestige of a right to occupy, and which was under the ownership, jurisdiction, and sovereignty of the State of South Carolina exclusively."

"......many have come from the North (and not just New England) who don't want to live in the South except geographically. Worse, they then spend a lot of time criticizing the local culture (and people) and using their increasing numbers to create changes contrary to the wishes of the "indigenous" folks. That is bad manners to say the least. It is also arrogant and inexcusable. If one wants New York or Massachusetts big government and all that that implies, one should stay in New York or Massachusetts! I am always amazed by those who move to the Carolinas or Georgia for the lower taxes and then do their damnedest to demand government "services" that caused the high taxes in the states they left! Of course, when they get their wish, the taxes go up and they move on (complaining all the way) leaving the locals stuck in a situation not of their own making. These people are a sort of economic locusts, a red tide of cultural destruction. They remind me nothing so much as the aliens in Independence Day, destroying everything in one place and then moving on to destroy some other pristine environment!

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ____________
SECTION 1.
This article shall be known as the "State Sovereignty and Federal Tax Escrow Account Act."
(a) The Constitution of the United States of America is a compact between the people of the sovereign States creating a general, or federal, government as their agent and endowing it with only enumerated powers. That general, or federal, government is not, and can never be, the sole authority in determining what powers were enumerated, or delegated, and what powers were reserved to the States and to the people thereof.
(b) The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America states: "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 ____________ State Legislature finds that the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America defines the entire scope of federal power as being limited to that specifically delegated in the said Constitution and no more.
(c) The ____________ State Legislature finds that the Congress of the United States has the power to lay and collect taxes pursuant only to clause 1 of Section 8 of Article 1; and clauses 4 and 5 of Section 9 of Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America.
(d) The ____________ State Legislature finds that the federal government, it agencies or agents, including the Congress of the United States, does not have the power under the Constitution of the United States of America to withhold from the States the benefits of those taxes defined in Section 1 (b) of this act by the use of federal mandates or other means that fall outside the scope of the powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States of America.
(e) In consideration of the continuing unconstitutional federal mandates, directives, laws, court orders, and other usurpations that withhold the benefits of those taxes defined in Section 1 (b) of this act to the States, the State of ____________ hereby reasserts it claim of sovereignty pursuant to the original compact between the several States and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
SECTION 2.
As used in the following sections of this code, the term:
(1) "Consumer tax" means any tax imposed by the federal government on any beer, liquor, wine, or similar alcoholic beverage, tobacco, gasoline, or any other consumer goods.
(2) "Excise tax" means any tax that forms a component of the State Highway Fund.
(3) "Federal Tax Escrow Account" means the escrow account described in this act.
(4) "Income tax" means any tax imposed by the taxing authorities of the federal government on incomes from whatever source derived.
(5) "Person" means natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, and other legal entities.
(a) The Federal Tax Escrow Account is created in the State Treasury. All federal tax moneys collected by the State of ____________ on behalf of the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, shall be deposited by the State Treasurer into the Federal Tax Escrow Account.
(b) The State Treasurer, on a quarterly basis, shall disburse the funds to the appropriate federal recipient if the ____________ State Legislature deems that the federal government, and its agencies or agents, have acted in a constitutional manner toward the State of ____________ or its citizens. If, as a result of State action taken pursuant to this article, the federal government imposes or mandates any financial sanctions or penalties or otherwise acts in a punitive manner toward the State of ____________ and its citizens, the State Treasurer shall withhold from payment all or part of the quarterly disbursement that otherwise would be disbursed or transferred to the appropriate federal recipient.
(c) Funds that are withheld by the State Treasurer from the federal recipient shall be transferred to and deposited in the State of ____________’s General Fund for general use.
SECTION 3.
(a) Any person liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax shall remit such tax when due along with a federal taxpayer identification number (if applicable) to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Federal Tax Escrow Account. A Social Security Number, according to statute, is not to be defined as a federal tax identification number.
(b) All moneys collected pursuant to Section 3. (a) of this code shall be transmitted to the State Treasurer, who, as a fiduciary agent, shall credit such funds to the Federal Tax Escrow Account on behalf of the person who remitted the tax.
(c) The State Treasurer shall submit to the federal Internal Revenue Service, or other such tax-collecting agencies that the Congress of the United States may from time to time establish, the names and tax identification numbers, where applicable (and excluding Social Security Numbers), of, and the amounts deposited by, persons liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax so that the Internal Revenue Service can credit the State of ____________'s taxpayers for federal tax obligations.
(d) Upon enactment of this code, no federal agent or agents may operate within the borders of the State of ____________, as defined in Section 4. (f) of this code, for the purpose of collecting taxes or of exacting punitive measures because of the exercise by the State of ____________ of any provision or provisions of this code.
(e) Except as provided for in Section 2.(b) of this code, the State Treasurer shall transfer at the end of each quarter the moneys held in the Federal Tax Escrow Account, less any interest earned on the deposit, to the appropriate federal recipient in payment of the tax obligations of those persons who remitted the tax funds to the State Treasurer.
(f) Should the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, impose sanctions on or take punitive actions of any sort against the State of ____________ for failing to enact legislation called for by a mandate from the federal government, of any of its agencies or agents, a vote shall be taken in the ____________ State Legislature as to the constitutionality of the said sanctions or punitive actions. By a simple majority vote in each house of the ____________ State Legislature, if the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, is found to be operating beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers, and therefore unlawfully, the State Treasurer shall be notified in writing within two (2) days by the Attorney General of the vote of the each house of the ____________ State Legislature, and the ____________ State Legislature shall instruct the State Treasurer to carry out the procedure specified in Section 2.(b) of this code.
(g) It shall be determined by a simple majority vote in each house of the ____________ State Legislature when the federal government, or its agencies or agents, have properly rescinded or removed any sanctions or have ceased punitive actions against the State of ____________ and its citizens. Until such time as both houses of the ____________ State Legislature have determined by a simple majority vote in each that the federal government, or its agencies or agents, are operating within the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers, and therefore lawfully, the State Treasurer shall disburse or transfer no funds from the Federal Tax Escrow Account to the federal tax recipient.
(h) Any person liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax who fails to forward said federal tax moneys to the State Treasurer shall be subject to penalties assessed pursuant to the applicable laws and statutes of the State of ____________.
SECTION 4.
(a) The Governor, members of each house of the ____________ State Legislature, judges, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the State Treasurer, the State Auditor, and all other State officers and employees shall implement the provisions of this article regardless of any sanctions, threats, punitive action, federal court orders, or other measures brought to bear against them by any and all federal authorities and their agencies and agents.
(b) Should the federal government, or its agencies or agents, impose any sanctions on or execute any punitive action against the State of ____________ or any of its citizens while the ____________ State Legislature is not in session, the Governor shall call the ____________ State Legislature into special session for the purpose of implementing the appropriate provision of this article.
(c) Any action by the federal government, or its agencies or agents, including the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the federal courts, against any person in the State of ____________ for compliance with the provisions of this article shall be considered a hostile and unconstitutional action against the State of ____________ and its citizens, and the State of ____________ shall by all necessary measures act to preserve its sovereignty.
(d) This article shall apply to all federal actions within the State of ____________, including, but not limited to, the collection of federal excise, income, and consumer taxes, upon the date, which it is enacted. Because the Constitution of the United States of America has been the fundamental law of the land since its ratification by the requisite nine (9) states in 1788, this article shall be enforced retroactively to repeal any unconstitutional federal laws, mandates, edicts, and court orders that have been imposed on the State of ____________ and its citizens.
(e) The ____________ State Legislature, by a simple majority vote in each house, shall determine how the moneys transferred from the Federal Tax Escrow Account to the State General Fund, including accrued interest, are to be used for the benefit of the people of the State of ____________. These moneys shall be used only for the benefit of the people of the State of ____________.
(f) The ____________ State Legislature shall, upon approval of this article, commission an official survey of the current geographical borders of the State of ____________. Upon completion of such survey, the ____________ State Legislature, by a simple majority vote in each house, shall declare the current borders of the State of ____________ inviolate against any action undertaken by the federal government, or its agencies or agents, to change or otherwise alter such borders. The federal government, or its agencies or agents, including the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the federal courts, shall have no authority to determine the geographic borders of the State of ____________.
SECTION 5.
This Act shall become effective immediately upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
SECTION 6.
All laws and portions of laws in conflict with this Act will be thereby repealed upon its approval

That general, or federal, government is not, and can never be, the sole authority in determining what powers were enumerated, or delegated, and what powers were reserved to the States and to the people thereof.
(b) The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America states: "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 ____________ State Legislature finds that the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America defines the entire scope of federal power as being limited to that specifically delegated in the said Constitution and no more.
(c) The ____________ State Legislature finds that the Congress of the United States has the power to lay and collect taxes pursuant only to clause 1 of Section 8 of Article 1; and clauses 4 and 5 of Section 9 of Article 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America.
(d) The ____________ State Legislature finds that the federal government, it agencies or agents, including the Congress of the United States, does not have the power under the Constitution of the United States of America to withhold from the States the benefits of those taxes defined in Section 1 (b) of this act by the use of federal mandates or other means that fall outside the scope of the powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States of America.
(e) In consideration of the continuing unconstitutional federal mandates, directives, laws, court orders, and other usurpations that withhold the benefits of those taxes defined in Section 1 (b) of this act to the States, the State of ____________ hereby reasserts it claim of sovereignty pursuant to the original compact between the several States and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
SECTION 2.
As used in the following sections of this code, the term:
(1) "Consumer tax" means any tax imposed by the federal government on any beer, liquor, wine, or similar alcoholic beverage, tobacco, gasoline, or any other consumer goods.
(2) "Excise tax" means any tax that forms a component of the State Highway Fund.
(3) "Federal Tax Escrow Account" means the escrow account described in this act.
(4) "Income tax" means any tax imposed by the taxing authorities of the federal government on incomes from whatever source derived.
(5) "Person" means natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, and other legal entities.
(a) The Federal Tax Escrow Account is created in the State Treasury. All federal tax moneys collected by the State of ____________ on behalf of the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, shall be deposited by the State Treasurer into the Federal Tax Escrow Account.
(b) The State Treasurer, on a quarterly basis, shall disburse the funds to the appropriate federal recipient if the ____________ State Legislature deems that the federal government, and its agencies or agents, have acted in a constitutional manner toward the State of ____________ or its citizens. If, as a result of State action taken pursuant to this article, the federal government imposes or mandates any financial sanctions or penalties or otherwise acts in a punitive manner toward the State of ____________ and its citizens, the State Treasurer shall withhold from payment all or part of the quarterly disbursement that otherwise would be disbursed or transferred to the appropriate federal recipient.
(c) Funds that are withheld by the State Treasurer from the federal recipient shall be transferred to and deposited in the State of ____________’s General Fund for general use.
SECTION 3.
(a) Any person liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax shall remit such tax when due along with a federal taxpayer identification number (if applicable) to the State Treasurer for deposit into the Federal Tax Escrow Account. A Social Security Number, according to statute, is not to be defined as a federal tax identification number.
(b) All moneys collected pursuant to Section 3. (a) of this code shall be transmitted to the State Treasurer, who, as a fiduciary agent, shall credit such funds to the Federal Tax Escrow Account on behalf of the person who remitted the tax.
(c) The State Treasurer shall submit to the federal Internal Revenue Service, or other such tax-collecting agencies that the Congress of the United States may from time to time establish, the names and tax identification numbers, where applicable (and excluding Social Security Numbers), of, and the amounts deposited by, persons liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax so that the Internal Revenue Service can credit the State of ____________'s taxpayers for federal tax obligations.
(d) Upon enactment of this code, no federal agent or agents may operate within the borders of the State of ____________, as defined in Section 4. (f) of this code, for the purpose of collecting taxes or of exacting punitive measures because of the exercise by the State of ____________ of any provision or provisions of this code.
(e) Except as provided for in Section 2.(b) of this code, the State Treasurer shall transfer at the end of each quarter the moneys held in the Federal Tax Escrow Account, less any interest earned on the deposit, to the appropriate federal recipient in payment of the tax obligations of those persons who remitted the tax funds to the State Treasurer.
(f) Should the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, impose sanctions on or take punitive actions of any sort against the State of ____________ for failing to enact legislation called for by a mandate from the federal government, of any of its agencies or agents, a vote shall be taken in the ____________ State Legislature as to the constitutionality of the said sanctions or punitive actions. By a simple majority vote in each house of the ____________ State Legislature, if the federal government, or any of its agencies or agents, is found to be operating beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers, and therefore unlawfully, the State Treasurer shall be notified in writing within two (2) days by the Attorney General of the vote of the each house of the ____________ State Legislature, and the ____________ State Legislature shall instruct the State Treasurer to carry out the procedure specified in Section 2.(b) of this code.
(g) It shall be determined by a simple majority vote in each house of the ____________ State Legislature when the federal government, or its agencies or agents, have properly rescinded or removed any sanctions or have ceased punitive actions against the State of ____________ and its citizens. Until such time as both houses of the ____________ State Legislature have determined by a simple majority vote in each that the federal government, or its agencies or agents, are operating within the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers, and therefore lawfully, the State Treasurer shall disburse or transfer no funds from the Federal Tax Escrow Account to the federal tax recipient.
(h) Any person liable for any federal excise, income, or consumer tax who fails to forward said federal tax moneys to the State Treasurer shall be subject to penalties assessed pursuant to the applicable laws and statutes of the State of ____________.
SECTION 4.
(a) The Governor, members of each house of the ____________ State Legislature, judges, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the State Treasurer, the State Auditor, and all other State officers and employees shall implement the provisions of this article regardless of any sanctions, threats, punitive action, federal court orders, or other measures brought to bear against them by any and all federal authorities and their agencies and agents.
(b) Should the federal government, or its agencies or agents, impose any sanctions on or execute any punitive action against the State of ____________ or any of its citizens while the ____________ State Legislature is not in session, the Governor shall call the ____________ State Legislature into special session for the purpose of implementing the appropriate provision of this article.
(c) Any action by the federal government, or its agencies or agents, including the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the federal courts, against any person in the State of ____________ for compliance with the provisions of this article shall be considered a hostile and unconstitutional action against the State of ____________ and its citizens, and the State of ____________ shall by all necessary measures act to preserve its sovereignty.
(d) This article shall apply to all federal actions within the State of ____________, including, but not limited to, the collection of federal excise, income, and consumer taxes, upon the date, which it is enacted. Because the Constitution of the United States of America has been the fundamental law of the land since its ratification by the requisite nine (9) states in 1788, this article shall be enforced retroactively to repeal any unconstitutional federal laws, mandates, edicts, and court orders that have been imposed on the State of ____________ and its citizens.
(e) The ____________ State Legislature, by a simple majority vote in each house, shall determine how the moneys transferred from the Federal Tax Escrow Account to the State General Fund, including accrued interest, are to be used for the benefit of the people of the State of ____________. These moneys shall be used only for the benefit of the people of the State of ____________.
(f) The ____________ State Legislature shall, upon approval of this article, commission an official survey of the current geographical borders of the State of ____________. Upon completion of such survey, the ____________ State Legislature, by a simple majority vote in each house, shall declare the current borders of the State of ____________ inviolate against any action undertaken by the federal government, or its agencies or agents, to change or otherwise alter such borders. The federal government, or its agencies or agents, including the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States, and the federal courts, shall have no authority to determine the geographic borders of the State of ____________.
SECTION 5.
This Act shall become effective immediately upon its approval by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.
SECTION 6.
All laws and portions of laws in conflict with this Act will be thereby repealed upon its approval
