Crazy Crap / Kotz / Legislature / Politics Tin Foil Hat News: Rep. Susan Lynn Protects Tennessee's Sovereignty
Posted by Pete Kotz on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 10:01 AM
If you're having a hard time following this, you're in good company. Lynn's resolution basically calls for reaffirming the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, which grants any powers not gobbled up by the feds to the states or The People. It would all seem innocent enough -- if highly unnecessary. But Lynn seems to think by doing this, it will stop the feds from delivering mandates unto the states.
Forget, for a minute, that almost all these things have already been decided by the courts. The Tin Hat Crowd has submitted such resolutions in 20 states. They're not really asking for specifics. They just want the feds to stop telling 'em what to do. Think of it as the legislative version of "You're Not the Boss of Me," only with cool words like "sovereignty" attached.
Fortunately, this bill is going nowhere. But it will get Lynn some congratulatory email from assorted wingnuts and the 20 guys currently stalking Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson "actress"actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.Original family didn't authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it's all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett never was engaged,by the way

Man...I can't stand dems OR repugs but reading The Scene sure makes me happy you idiots don't have a majority. You guys are on the wrong side of so many arguments and all you have is sarcstic and smart @ss rhetoric to back it up.
Check your brains at the door...now welcome to The Nashville Scene...have you met Jeffrey Woods?
There's a reason people stopped taking your publication seriously a long time ago.
Yet, you keep reading it. And they keep selling advertising because you're reading it.
"You guys are on the wrong side of so many arguments and all you have is sarcstic and smart @ss rhetoric to back it up."
What's the Right side of this particular argument, Kevin?
Well, yeah, I am reading it...and completely debunking aftewards. Educated people read things, even things they don't like.
The right side of this issue would be the side that looks at the facts and comes to the logical conclusion that guns don't cause crime, criminals do.
30+ states have these laws and none of these states have any problems. In fact, the states with the MOST gun control have the MOST crime by FAR.
Chicago: Strictest gun control. Murder capital of the US.
People with gun permits are not the people committing the crimes. In fact, people who legally own firearms are far less likely to commit crimes than people who do not. Jeff Woods would have you believe that the one or two examples of permit holders committing crimes is statistically significant.
It isn't.
So, he's either really dumb or thinks his readers are.
Statistically, its the people without carry permits that we should be worried about.
Facts.
Kevin, you haven't debunked anything stated in the ACTUAL ARTICLE, which is something about Susan Lynn and Tennessee Sovereignty. And just an FYI: Woods doesn't have the power to take yours, or anyone else's, guns. He's just giving you his OPINION. Why are you so threatened by that?
There is a good reason for reaffirming state sovereignty: when the federal government doesn't seem to regard the fed/state boundary outlined explictly in the constitution. And that is exactly what is happening. The courts can say what they want but that isn't stopping the federal government from cramming the stimulus money down the throat of the govenors who don't want it. It is happening. It is unconstitutional. States should declare sovereignty. This isn't about liberal or conservative. It's about following the constitution vs not following it. All TN residents should be proud of Susan.
