91 (1) There is created the Joint Commission on Recommendation, which shall be charged
92 with recommending and proposing for a vote by a constitutional majority the nullification
93 in its entirety of a specific federal law or regulation which is deemed to be outside the
94 scope of the powers delegated by the people to the federal government in the United
95 States Constitution or at odds with the Georgia Constitution;

and

104 (3) The commission of recommendation shall have the power to review any and all
105 existing federal statutes, mandates, and executive orders for the purpose of determining
106 the constitutionality thereof, and such commission may recommend existing federal
107 statutes, regulations, mandates, and executive orders put in place prior to the passage of
108 this resolution for nullification. The commission shall respond with its recommendations
109 within 30 days of receiving such federal legislation for consideration; and
110 (4) Upon recommendation for nullification, the General Assembly may vote to nullify
111 following such recommendation. The appropriate documentation reflecting the vote shall
112 be documented in legislative journals of the House and Senate. In the event the General
113 Assembly votes by a constitutional majority to nullify any federal statute, mandate, or
114 executive order on the grounds of constitutionality, neither the state nor its citizens shall
115 recognize or be obligated to live under such statute, mandate, or executive order.

The Constitution of the United States clearly states in Article VI Paragraph 2

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The battle over nullification ended in the Civil War in which there over 600,000 military deaths, the most in any was in U.S. history.

Is this another bonehead bill from ALEC?

I found this pack of lies on their website:

We are witnessing an unprecedented shift of power from the states to the Federal government, and increasing levels of disquiet about this situation from the states and the American people. In order to restore the appropriate balance of power between the states and the federal government, ALEC is launching “Restore the Balance: An Initiative to Restore Federalism in America.”  This Initiative will focus on advancing ALEC’s guiding principles of limited government and federalism by providing state legislators model legislation for their states and model resolutions for petitioning the U.S. Congress that will help to protect their states’ Tenth Amendment rights. Our goal is to restore our founding fathers’ intent that the states would enjoy co-equal status with the federal government.

The "disquiet" they mention is of their own invention, as is their lie about the FFs intent.

This is just Johnny Reb rearing his ugly head again. Some people in the South still can't reconcile themselves to the fact that they lost the Civil War. They probably want to get their slaves back too.

This is so phoney.  The vast majority of federal requirements are tied to federal money.  For instance, highway funds are doled out to the states each year, and with those funds come federal standards for building roads.  If the states do not want federal "intrusion" into their business, they can simply forego the money.  How much more simple can it get?

Yep .. and this is the center of the issue.

The Fed TAKES OUR MONEY .. then DICTATES to us, while holding our money hostage.
