From Alex Koppelman at Salon.The 10th Amendment to our Constitution "reserves any powers not expressly given to the federal government to the people or the states."
Sarah Palin, playing to her base - the rednecks who cling to religion and guns - has signed a resolution (approved by the Alaska legislature) which refers to the 10th Amendment and tells the federal guv'mint to leave Alaska alone!
The latter part of the resolution reads thusly: "This resolution serves as Notice and Demand to the federal government to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers."
Heh. Heh.
It means nothing. But the asshats and beanheads all over the lower 48 (most of whom don't know Alaska from Hawaii) are saluting their moose-hunter leader for signing the resolution and showing them damn feds a thang or two!
Someone should tell them that this battle was joined many years ago and has been resolved.
Or, better yet, the federal government should go into Alaska and dismantle every federal program that is in place; the feds should also shut down any federal benefit Alaska receives from the federal government. No more nuttin!
That would last about 24 hours and as Alaska disintegrated, Palin would be pleading on her knees for federal assistance!
What a moron!

I wonder why the Fed doesn’t give her what she demands for a few days anyway.
