Politics Should Congress Censure Wamp for Sedition?

Wamp is desperately trying to take it all back. His remark lent new credence to the already widespread notion that he's off his rocker. "When I'm governor of Tennessee, of course we will not secede from the union," he says. That's reassuring. Ramsey calls Wamp's secession talk another example of his "over-the-top temperament and overheated, sometimes crazy rhetoric." But we think Ramsey's actually jealous that he didn't think of it first.
For nearly the past two years, these two princes of shamelessness have been trying to win the GOP nomination by pandering to the frothing far-right fringe of their party. Until Wamp's Hotline faux pas, no one had yet uttered the word secession. But when Wamp talked about meeting President Obama at the border (to stop a nonexistent threat) or when Ramsey vowed to give Washington the boot (even as the state was staying afloat with federal stimulus cash), that deserved just as much derision. Ramsey was doing it again on the stump Saturday even after Wamp stepped in it. Does he sound like the reasonable one of the two?
He predicted, "Folks, the November election is going to be a revolution. There's going to be a whole lot more governors like Arizona's Jan Brewer, Texas' Rick Perry, New Jersey's Chris Christie and Virginia's Robert McDonnell. Governors who will stand up to the Federal government and say, 'enough is enough, we're not going to take it anymore; the 10th Amendment means the 10th Amendment."

The 14th Amendment means the 14th Amendment and that means the 10th Amendment need not apply. The recent SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) opinion applies the 14th Amendment to the beloved 2nd Amendment which now is interrupted in original intent and clearly interpreted to mean state and local government, in addition to Los Federales, cannot make laws abridging the right to keep and bear arms. With the 16th Amendment allowing an income tax without per capita proportional distributions and the 17th Amendment allowing popular election of US Senators, the 10th Amendment is meaningless with nothing to protect the states from federalism. That may be why Ramsey can never say what the 10th Amendment means. It means nothing after 1865 and 1868 and especially even less after Tennessee adopted its current Constitution in 1870.
Ramsey and Wamp are just auctioning off the citizens to the cheapest voters. They'd both be very, very comfortable during the early 1860's when slaves, ie chattel, were last recorded for property valuations in every county in Tennessee.
Looks like Angry White Guy Secessionist Zach Wamp finally crossed the HOT(head)LINE and violated his oath of office to uphold the US Constitution as well as failing to capitulate to federal authority under the current Tennessee Constitution. He should be tried and ousted from office.
Zach is not an angry white guy he may be ADD,he is just going along with stupid radicals that get all their info from fox news and talk radio and they think they know it all ,they do not even realize what is true and what is fiction,radicals by nature will make republican party a minority party of talking point slaves with no ability to think for self,.
