Bat-Shit Crazy

The Oklahoma state legislature passed a bill this week declaring the state sovereign from any rules of the federal government not explicitly laid out in the Constitution.

Via the right-wing rag, WorldNetDaily:
The Oklahoma House of Representatives passed House Joint Resolution 1003 Feb. 18 by a wide margin, 83 to 13, resolving, "That the State of Oklahoma hereby claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. "The language of HJR 1003 further serves notice to the federal government "to cease and desist, effectively immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers."
The actions of these fascist-fucks would be laughable if they weren't so scary. I don't know about you, but when I read things like this I smell the beginnings of a secessionist effort by these bat-shit lunatics.
