Utah Lawmakers Pass Bill to Ignore Federal Laws
January 27, 2024 at 11:26 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Salt Lake Tribune: “A bill creating a process to give legislators the power to order state officials and agencies to ignore federal laws and regulations was approved by the Utah House of Representatives on Friday.”

“The House passage follows Gov. Spencer Cox’s endorsement of Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to defy the Supreme Court and supplant federal authority over the southern border.”

1. As a Texan and DUer will not call to kick Utah out of the Union

Good luck Utah, I know what you’re dealing with and I’m sending you love and light!

[Think. Again.]

2. Um, what?

I'm thinking all this crap just needs to be ignored.

As laws are broken resulting from any of this, those situations can be appropriately dealt with one-by-one.

4. Why have a "United States" at all?

If states can decide which federal laws they can ignore, we might as well break up into a bunch of sovereign, autonomous little countries that can do their own things, steal each others' territories, and wage wars against each other like Europe in the Middle Ages.


in case that's necessary for the literal-minded among us.

5. So republicans really aren't the "strict

Constitutionalists" they claim to be. Whoddathought?

7. Is this the beginning of the disintegration of the United States?

Rabid Republicans may have convinced themselves that their states would be better off financially and politically if they are not part of the US. They must think they can win a civil war this time and keep all the spoils for themselves. For many of these taker states, their finances would hurt without blue states propping them up. I don’t really understand what these states like Texas and Utah hope to achieve, but it will be nothing good for the country. Perhaps they’re trying to push Biden into calling out the US military to make him look bad.

11. Rabid Republicans don't give a shit about state's rights

It's only a weapon of convenience for them. When they get federal power, they abuse the shit out of that and state's rights take a hike.

They do not care about the Constitution or the country. They only care about themselves, what they want and what they can grab.
That's it.

8. Stop all federal money going to the state

Close all military installations as well as other federal offices or sites.

9. Cancel all federal contracts.....

Put on yer' big boy pants guvna's!

10. The future of the US is looking like balkanization

Breaking up into several smaller countries depending on politics. I just don't see how we can get along with the MAGAts anymore. They want a completely different type of society.

12. So by "the southern border"

I suppose he means the border between Utah and Arizona?
